Is this church or wrestling ring? Where the jaws break after prayer, people clapping …

When we hear the name of the church, a picture of a calm, holy and spiritual place is made in our mind. Where people speak their heart to the Lord Jesus, pray and find spiritual peace. But have you ever seen a church where tremendous wrestling and viewers encourage applause? Yes, it is not a film scene, but is St. Peters Angelikan Church in Shiple, England, which people are now aware of ‘Wrestling Church’. Every month a special type of wrestling is organized here, in which wrestlers descend into the ring and present the battle of good vs. evil as a game.

In fact, this church was started by 37 -year -old Gareth Thompson, who believes that his life changed due to wrestling and Jesus Christ. Thompson himself used to do wrestling himself and there came a time in life when he lost himself completely. In that difficult time, he was supported by both Christianity and Wrestling. This is why they got the idea, why not bring both of them on one platform? So that people not only understand the message of God, but also feel the difference of good-evil in an exciting way.

Every month an event is organized in this church in which the church first prays, bhajan and discourse. The church then turns into a wrestling ring within a few minutes, where the audience chairs are placed around and the wrestler conveys religious and moral messages to the people through scripted matches. About 200 people attended an event held recently. He first worshiped God and then a wrestling match for a full two hours. The audience, especially children and young, looked very excited by this unique experience.
