Re: Gospel Clowning
As i stated before, I've only seen a small amount of gospel clowning and (unfortunatly) haven't done any but I have an observation or two.
PERHAPS , in the area of worship services there MAY be a limit to what is appropriate for a clown to be involved.Almost every area I've noticed the gospel clown (child evangelism, V.B.S,
Sunday school openings) I've noticed that the clown is a love object, one to whom certain people (especially children) can relate whereas perhaps not a pastor. so the clown is the conduit between God and the individual wheather it's in a large congregation venue or one-to-one, or small groups. He, or she might have an outrageous appearance and create happiness, but also be seen as gentle and sensitive, and the good news is communicated through this personality, THIS is the uniqueness of the gospel clown- a love object.
