Awareness,

I think that was a church meeting based on the audience and the songs being sung (hosanna). The title also says “Church”. The stage appeared like a fixed stage where someone would speak from a podium as opposed to the Cirque stage. The stage has steps such as you might find in a church meeting where the preacher can come down and interact with the crowd and the audience can kneel at for prayer. The Cirque stage will be higher acting as a barrier to prevent fans from rushing the stage. A shot of the ceiling also appears like that you find in a mega church.That church may have very well hired the Cirque dancers... however, it was by all accounts a church. My wife and I viewed it together and she agrees. She felt like you that it was inappropriate.

But, the issue is the trend more so than a single instance. Osteens Lakewood Church has a dance program not just performances, but training young people in dance. That is a valid proof point of poor poor Christianity in the context of this thread.

I do not think any Christian group can be criticized for “Met Gala”. It was a mockery.
