Church Event Promises Porn, Pancakes

By The Associated Press

ONTARIO, N.Y. (AP) - It's not your typical church breakfast.

An event billed as "Porn and Pancakes" is being hosted by a church in rural upstate New York.

The breakfast discussion on the pornography industry in America is planned next month at the Living Word Assembly of God Church in the town of Ontario, in rural Wayne County about ten miles east of Rochester.

A billboard advertisement near the church shows the words "Porn and Pancakes" written in syrup on a stack of flapjacks.

Organizers tell Rochester's WHEC-TV that the February tenth event will be an honest discussion about pornography and its impact on society. The discussion will be led by Triple-X Church, a group of youth ministers who travel the country talking about porn and the porn industry.

The pastor of the Wayne County church that churches from Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse have asked about hosting "Porn and Pancakes" events.
