Dublin U2charist

Last Sunday (Palm Sunday in the Christian calendar) a friend and colleague from the Dublin area named Greg helped organise a service at a church that contained elements of a now internationally recognized format called the U2charist. In short, the U2charist was devised back in the summer of 2005 by an Episcopalian minister in the US which is now being used in various Christian churches around the globe. The service (as the title presupposes) makes use of songs (sometimes video and images) from the band U2 (who are Irish for all of you who hadn't figured that one out) in many of the main elements of the service. This was the first time (as far as we can tell) that this service format has made it's way back to the homeland of the band members. All this past week the service was everywhere in the media: newspapers, web, TV - you name it. I'm actually amazed that the media found this so interesting! Here's one write up.

Anyway, here are my questions: have any of you ever been to a U2charist service? Which aspects were most meaningful? What elements of the service 'married' well the eternal truths or spiritual realities and the band's music? Here's an image from the Dublin scene . . .
