GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.-- A reverend and a restaurateur hope to spread the Gospel
by mixing Bibles and beer at a religious-themed saloon in Grand Rapids.
The Rev. Peter Winkle and business owner Renee Visser will ask the city for a
free liquor license Wednesday to open "Graces." He says the request has pitted
some Christians who favor temperance against those who feel the gospel should
be spread by any means possible.
Visser says she envisions music, fun, alcoholic beverages, pizza, steaks and
hamburgers at night and a soup and salad bar for the lunch crowd.
Graces would not be associated with any church or denomination.
Visser and Winkle have a history of spreading the Gospel through alternative
forums. They have been involved in Monroe Mall Ministries, and helped bring the
Gospel on the Mall concerts last summer.
