Phurst Church of Phun
Whimsical anti-war protest church
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Phurst Church of Phun was founded in the 1960s as a secret society of comics and clowns dedicated to ending the Vietnam War through the use of political theater.[1] The Phurst Church of Phun has been known to perform alongside acts such as the Zen Tricksters in venues such as the Wetlands Preserve.[2][3] Noteworthy members of the Phurst Church of Phun include Wavy Gravy and Johnny Dwork.[4] Members of the Phurst Church of Phun worship by taking shelter in their "holy phool spirit guides."
There is a Phurst Church of Phun temple in Portland, Oregon, where initiations and weddings are held in a temple surrounded by rubber chickens.[5]
