I'm surprised you hadn't heard about this before now. I actually have a friend from high school who is now an Episcopalean priest; and yes, his church has "put on" (his words) a U2charist.
To be honest, I don't know what to say. Do I think that the band has crafted music that could be used in a meaningful church service? Yes I do. Consider the recent Yahweh off the "How to Dismantle and Atomic Bomb" album.
But let me be clear. Having said what I just said, I cannot get behind a U2charist. To me ... and maybe its just me ... the name alone implies a certain idolatry. Like we're looking to the composer as opposed to the content of the music.
The world is going nuts!

What about putting people (like Ghandi) up on the screen? A little relativeistic, no?
I'd say its a bit more than a "little" relativistic. But again, it's not something I would do...
