p2pnet news | Music:- The Catholic church was seriously upset by Britanny Spears’ use of a fake Cathlic priest in a promo pic for her new album Blackout.

But another church feels sorry for her.

Members of the Southland Christian Church in Lexington, Kentucky, ” will gather letters bearing messages such as ‘Britney, Jesus loves you,’ ‘The congregation of Southland Christian Church loves you as Jesus loves you,’ and ‘We are praying for you,’ according to the Lexington Herald-Leader, quoted by the Christian Post, going on.

“Take a few minutes and write a note to Britney Spears,” senior pastor Jon Weece through a sermon said in a sermon and in a Sept. 19 blog on the church’s Web site. “No preaching. No criticizing. Just love. As a church, let’s love Britney the way Jesus loves her.”

Spears was raised as a Southern Baptist in her home state of Mississippi, “part of the Bible Belt, and supposedly entered the music scene as a relatively devout Christian,” says the story, going on:

“While her rise to stardom brought her arguably as many problems as it did fame, if not more, some believe she hasn’t entirely lost the faith through it all. Hollywood.tv reported seeing her earlier this year with the word ‘PUSH’ tattooed onto her hand.

“The acronym, some believe, stands for ‘Pray Until Something Happens’ and is normally printed on necklaces and bands sold at Christian shops.”

Adds the story:

“Cindy Willison, the director of communications for Southland church, said Friday that the letters from the congregation are still being collected and that church officials were researching the best way to make sure they get them directly to Spears.

“This is an opportunity for us to reach out to someone who probably doesn’t have a lot of people in her life that care for her as a person,” Willison said.
