Visiting Speaker Destroys "Coffee Shop Style" Foyer in Fit of Zeal

BABBLERS PRESS - Inspired by Jesus' cleansing of the temple as recorded in the gospels a visiting speaker burst into the foyer area of his host church this past Sunday and began turning over tables and virtually destroying coffee percolators and book displays. 

"God's church should be a house of prayer for all people but you have made it into a Starbucks," cried the speaker. 

Several people got hit by flying bagels and donuts, according to witnesses on the scene. A few people nearly got scawled by hot water as the coffee makers were hurled across the floor. The pastor said he was stunned by what he saw.

"I really thought our speaker had lost his mind," said the pastor. "We were only trying to reach out to people who don't normally come to church, you know, trying to provide an atmosphere where people could relax and get to know one another in the hopes of forming authentic relationships. And now, I mean, just look at this mess." 

The pastor said thankfully nobody was seriously hurt but the ushers have been "quite busy" cleaning up the foyer area. Meanwhile, the speaker in question is undergoing a psychiatric assessment at a local hospital.
