The Review
I just read the review that Hemant wrote about Via Christus and I thought it was really cool. I felt like the whole q&a w/ him on Saturday was very positive. What a concept--a bunch of christians sitting around asking an athiest his opinion of the church. I am imagining the reactions that some people I know might have to some of the statements in the review--like the one about our church being "truly liberal" or even better, "It’s a type of Christianity no Atheist should have a problem with." I considered both of those statements as compliments, but they also make me chuckle a little.

I know what you mean about his comments. I too take them as compliments, but I can imagine other, more conservative Christians saying that they're evidence that we're watering down the gospel just to be "seeker sensitive" or whatever.
But of course you and I both know that we weren't watering down anything. I think it's great that I can preach a fire and repentance sermon, and somehow a visiting non-Christian finds it less threatening and judgmental than most of the other places he's visited (including three actual "seeker sensitive" churches and a prayer meeting at Moody!)
