Holy Rollerz Car Club
March 16th 2008 08:02
Just came across the site, Holy Rollerz Christian Car Club. Its main claim to fame is that it’s altogether different from most car clubs, where the car is the god. Here Jesus gets His rightful place amongst the BMW wheels, the SUV compacts, the Nissan 350Zs, the Katana 600s and so on.
Obviously if you don’t think Jesus and driving go together, this isn’t the place for you. However, they’ve got several video clips on the site that talk about how the group came together (one of the founders was in prison involved in the White Nazi ‘club’ initially) and these are impressive without being over-the-top.
In one of these, the Atlanta chapter of the Holy Rollerz was interviewed by the American Bible Society early in 2007. The focus was on how two of the leaders, Gus and Brian, came to know each other while Brian was still in prison, and what the club stands for now. Towards the end of the video clip they talk about community, and how community is at the basis of how they live and work together.
Comes across as sincere stuff, without any of the tele-evangelist approach that can be so alien to non-American cultures.
The site’s a bit slow at the time of writing, but they’re working on it. It’s mostly the forum section that’s having problems; the video’s work fine.
