Ed Begley Jr. Wants to Make Church Cool in Portlandia

Posted by Melissa Locker on
Organized religion isn’t for everyone, but dis-organized religion is definitely for the citizens of Portlandia.
This week on Portlandia, Ed Begley Jr. returns as Father Timothy, a man on a mission from God to help re-brand church and make the hipsters and hippies alike realize that church is an option. Some of his big, TED Talk-worthy ideas include trading prayers for Pinterest-worthy vision boards, replacing boring organ music with screamo rock n’ roll and offering helpful services like acupuncture. With Father Timothy (and God) at the helm, there’s no way the trendy flock won’t be heading to the hippest destination around: Heaven.
