Well......baguettes and circuses, to be more precise. Montreal church partners with circus company to help pay the bills The partnership could be the 1st of its kind and is a 'match made in heaven,' says pastor An acrobat dangles from the rafters of a 150-year-old church while a lightshow paints the altar in blue, pink and yellow lights. Call it a leap of faith. This was the first show of Le Monastère — the monastery, in English — a circus cabaret show held inside a downtown Montreal church. <snip> With lagging attendance and surging maintenance bills, churches in Quebec and elsewhere have struggled to stay afloat. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/montreal-church-circus-1.5022352

Gives a new meaning to the ascension. A bit more dramatic than it is typically presented.

At the risk of de-railing your thread, I thought I would add this little tidbit:
Whole Foods in my area used to be called Bread and Circus.
Or Bread and Checkbook.
Now it is called Whole Checkbook. 😜

Or Bread and Checkbook. Now it is called Whole Checkbook. 😜 I was referring to the ancient Roman Empire phrase. It was coined about 2,000 years ago.
