Time was when houses of worship were easily distinguishable as were the clergy associated with them.

But in an age of Internet ordinations of “ministers,” what a flock of fancy calls a “church” others might consider a far different kind of religious experience.

Consider the ministry of John Ondrik. Ordained online (for $90), the organizer of the Spiritual Palace sought a special zoning exception for his “church” in residential North Huntingdon. Affiliated with the nonprofit Church of Spiritual Humanism, the Rev. Ondrik says he provides his 40-member congregation “a more private, more hands-on” worship service.

In rejecting Ondrik’s application — “as to be unbelievable” — zoning officials cited “overwhelming credible testimony” revealing not a church but a commercial business “offering sexual-lifestyle-type services for a fee.”

Officials say the Spiritual Palace shares the same address as a place called the Swingers Palace. “Parishioners” pay a minimum $50 fee to “worship.”

We are not prudes. And we’re not here to judge what consenting adults do behind closed doors; that’s their business. But it is fundamentally wrong for this operation to call itself a “church” in pursuit of special considerations afforded to bona fide churches.

Personal carnal pleasures are one thing. Abusing the law in their pursuit is quite another.

The Swingers Palace is Pennsylvania’s longest running swingers club.
Located just east of Pittsburgh, Pa.
The building is a spacious 2 story “On-Premise Club” that has all the facilities that truly makes this a Premier Paradise.
We offer a no pressure, casual, comfortable, and “safe” environment.
The Swingers Palace is the worlds “First and Only” Public Swingers Club that permits Any Swinger over 21 regardless of race, creed, national origin, or sexual preference.
We are a *Bi-Friendly* club that breaks all barriers in the swinging lifestyle, by getting rid of the labels and titles that are placed on bi-gentlemen and bi-ladies.

Don’t ridicule this - many of us have had religious experiences at swing clubs.
