Hvað myndi Jesús kaupa... í musteri græðginnar?

Flottur hann Reverand Billy sem er með stop-shopping "kirkju" og er að gefa út bók sem heitir "what would jesus buy". Skemmtilegur aktivisti sem er verið að gera heimildamynd um kemur hingað til lands næstu helgi og verður með á ráðstefnu Saving Iceland þar sem áhugasamir Íslendingar geta orðið aðnjótandi að sögum úr fjarlægum löndum þar sem fólk berst gegn ágengni álrisanna ásamt ýmsum áhugaverðum pistlum og fræðandi efni.
