Techno church brings ravers flocking | Orange UK (http://web.orange.co.uk/article/quirkies/Techno_church_brings_ravers_flocking)
A Swedish church is attracting a younger congregation - by staging services featuring techno music.
The services at Stockholm's All Saints Church were the idea of vicar Olle Idestrom.
He sees them as a way of boosting dwindling congregations by attracting younger church-goers.
Based on a traditional mass, they replace hymns with especially written modern dance tunes.
And they are proving highly popular with young Christians who are, quite literally, dancing in the aisles.
