U2-charist?

U2 service brings rock to religion

The first "U2-charist" in England, an adapted Holy Communion service that uses the Irish rock group's best-selling songs in place of hymns, is to be staged at a Lincoln church in May.

A live band will play U2 classics such as Mysterious Ways and Beautiful Day as worshippers sing along with lyrics which will appear on screen at St Swithin's parish church in the town centre.
...
Seating will be moved in order for the 500-strong congregation to be able to dance and wave their hands.
...
"It is also very important that we continue to try and find ways of worshipping that are surprising, challenging and fun. Rock music can be a vehicle of immense spirituality."

Maybe if they adapt the lyrics a little this won't be heresy
