I also become concerned that while this may allow various individuals to accept this "brand" of church, it will not fulfill God's purpose, revealed only to us in our generation (Eph. 3), of glory through Christian unity (Eph 3-4). My fear is that this will only bring greater cynicism and judging other Christians and churches that are less "accepting" of their comforts, preferences and desires. There is a risk of division and actual judgmental arrogance from the very people who claim this is why they stayed away from Christians and churches in the first place.

If this has any hope of truly honoring God's greater vision, the leaders must make a major intentional effort to bring their disciples quickly to a point of embracing every facet of genuine Christian practice and the convictions of every sincere believer.

To be honest, I see a ministry like this as the thing that is doing the unchurching. Getting people out of their regular church culture and opening them up to a view of God that filters through an entirely (for them) unreligious lens. Does that make sense? In this sense, there are some places (even within less creepy christianities) where this unchurching is really necessary.

*whatever…you know what i mean*

I dont remember in the gospels, Christ doing what certain people were doing. He just went there and rebuked people among other things. People like to make up that he was "hangin" with them. LOL

There are 50 or so Non-Mormon churches in town. They range in size from 7 to 1500, most of them around 50. Granger has actually equipped and helped my church before with technical advice from Adam and Butch, but there is definitely a Christian presence here (even if it’s %1 percent of the population).
