The Church of the Latter-day Dude

Just got word. Our friend God Girl (religion journalist Cathleen Falsini) has been ordained a priest in The Church of the Latter-day Dude. It's a religion based on the philosophy of Jeff Bridges' laid back character in the movie The Big Lebowski.

She explains in her blog that "apparently the Chinese Taoist philosopher Lao Tzu was the original Dude because, in part, he taught the idea of wei wu wei, or "non-doing doing."

Bottom line is Bridges' signature quote: "Well, ya know, the Dude abides."

(Our beliefs are similar to the Dude's: we believe in non-doing non-doing).
