Spiritual Menu

Thursday, April 03, 2008

Hotel Preston in Nashville has added a new twist to the trend of merely removing Bibles from hotel rooms by replacing Bibles with “spiritual menus” in all its guest rooms. The menus will invite guests to call room service to order their religious book of choice. Choices include the Quran, The Book of Mormon, the Torah, books on Scientology and the Bible.

Dr. Albert Mohler Jr., president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary wrote on his blog that the growing absence of Bibles from hotel rooms speaks to the secularization, sexualization and extreme sensitivities of the culture.

“The fact is that many persons have come to faith in Jesus Christ by reading a Bible supplied to their hotel room by the Gideons,” he wrote. “Many others have turned to the Bible when in crisis. Some have even decided against suicide when they read from the Gideons Bible.”
