It's true! Sunday mass/services are now conducted in malls across my island nation. If you can't bring people to God, bring God to the mall.

Well, it's true but it's not new.
Actually, commerce and religion have been one for a long time. You will find in the constitution that majority of the churches (religions) are exempted to pay taxes that's why other businesses are named under a religious organization for obvious reasons....

Yes..not only in the Phils but in the whole world...Its been a practice since the creation of the world..remember the spanish that brought the Christianity in the Phils thru Mactan. They travelled over seas and oceans for years..risking their lives..how much more today where the communication and transportation is very easy.

Hey Imelda - your answers are sooo funny!
But getting back to the subject, yes, I saw that happen at the mall of Asia, and even small places like Walter Mart.

Thats not new, religion and commerce are always one.
Coming up next.......they may be giving out 'indulgences' during happy hours at the malls.
