Bibles and -- years -- a combination it's also a new trend that.
As religion on -- that your local bar but is this a good way to spread the word of god joining us now is Joseph being he's the owner of the drunk monkey tavern which holds a live stream of Sunday mass.
And owner of the website bar owners for -- dot com also with us this morning Fox -- religion contributor Father Jonathan -- good to see bullets -- Joseph good to see you -- told someone in my former towns -- love -- there tell me about exactly what you guys are doing in your bar.
As related to the Beers and the bibles as we mention.
What we're doing those were video live streaming the church service from celebration church here in Tulsa.
Into the -- we've got big screen TV in some smaller TVs that would bring it all in and basically bring the charge the people in the bar is drinking a part of this service.
Not really if somebody words of -- that's fine that we -- haven't sold six straight -- whole -- we've been doing this.
How many people are there.
And exactly why those people choose to come to your bar rather than church.
Usually how about a dozen people there and those people are people who.
One reason or another we'll log go to church those reasons vary from -- -- they find -- hypocritical.

On tap as a general practice how do you feel about this you know I think it's a great idea in fact just few weeks ago I was in Ireland.
Now with cardinal Dolan and we did at town hall.
Meeting type things David about some the questions from the audience to cardinal Dolan and you did it with in a the setting of a pub in Ireland with traditional Irish music.
And people loved it because -- it was a very casual environment.
Getting to know that this in this case the cardinal in a setting that was also very comfortable for them.
And so -- in church I think there is a proper place for reference in for quiet it's.
And in also 488 in encounter with a mysterious with with the sacred.
I think there's also a a place -- a time for a casual setting to talk about the things that most -- to us to talk about our faith to -- -- values and also ask the tough questions you don't always get to get -- feed back in the church.
Figure I help nobody stands up and my sermon today gives me feedback during the middle of -- But it's a great thing.
That they have that done it in a in a setting like that theology untapped by -- beer I think it's all good it is spreading there in -- jump.
It is we want to us for this house are video light treatment to a bunch of other bars -- it tolls and cross country.
I love it -- -- the junk monkeys in the I believe the -- pool area of Tulsa great to see Joseph thanks for being on the program -- -- facial winning analysts say well and.
