Call me old fashioned, traditional even, but church doesn't jump in my head when I think of Xbox. Michigan pastor Jerry Weinzierl hopes that others do! He recently purchased a 111,000 square-foot building in a strip mall that's behind a TGI Friday's chain and an Eat at Joe's restaurant. Inside the church includes church stuff as well as kid-geared pool tables, an indoor basketball court and four stations to play Mature-rated Halo. Says the pastor:

We want going to church to be an enjoyable and enriching experience for the whole family. Even if someone comes in for the wrong reason, I can maybe make an impact on them for that moment... This will be a very peaceful place.

Has he ever heard people play Halo? Brian Ashcraft
