And here is their church website:

and the page about Derek Bass (the minister) himself:

Apparently they meet in the Baptist Church at the corner of Rochambeau and Hope.

Definitely not my cup of tea!!!  [I rather like what H. L. Mencken once wrote: "

It is impossible to imagine the universe run by
a wise, just and omnipotent God, but it is quite easy to imagine it run by a
board of Gods.  If such a board actually
exists it operates precisely like the board of a corporation that is losing
money."]  

Of course your mileage may vary, and that's fine with me.  I'm just being a cranky old so-and-so.

In case you're off to the film in Lippitt park tonight, it might be good to know who is sponsoring it and what their aim is in putting this (and other of their events) on. Just FYI that Christ the King Church (and all of their placards attached to you doors) is part of an evangelical "church planting" movement to reach "spiritually parched" and "lost" Rhode Islanders.

Whether you agree with them or not is up to you, just making sure you're informed on what you're supporting if you attend their events...

>From the sponsor:

"The Providence Project is the culmination of years of preparation, passion and calling, converging with a gospel opportunity in spiritually parched Providence, Rhode Island. Church planter Derek Bass and his young family are putting down roots in Providence to reach

the lost by launching a gospel-driven church which, by God’s grace, will become the impetus for a church planting movement in Rhode Island.  As you read this prospectus, please consider how you can become part of the Providence Project."

>From their beliefs page:

"Marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in covenant commitment for a lifetime."

"A wife is to submit herself graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ. She, being in the image of God as is her husband and thus equal to him, has the God-given responsibility to respect her husband and to serve as his helper in managing the household and nurturing the next generation."

"In the spirit of Christ, Christians should oppose racism, every form of greed, selfishness, and vice, and all forms of sexual immorality, including adultery, homosexuality, and pornography."

"We should speak on behalf of the unborn and contend for the sanctity of all human life from conception to natural death. Every Christian should seek to bring industry, government, and society as a whole under the sway of the principles of righteousness, truth, and brotherly love."
