church from the unchurched

Earlier this summer a team of 31 journalists from The Stranger newspaper ventured into the diverse religious sectors of Seattle. Their objective was to observe and record their thoughts during Sunday morning gatherings...or, as one writer wrote, "...to take upon the mystery of things, as if I were one of God's spies." Their reactions are staggering...heavily-biased (depending on the writer's religious or non-religious backgrounds/beliefs), but they capture what any typical, critical person may say about how they see the church "doing church".

NOTE: some of the writings are profane.

Adam, it was clear from reading these that these guys/gals entered churches looking for reasons to hate it. Consequently, they harshly judged the motives behind most things they saw. Despite this, I found many of these posts intriguing and several of them helpful. I don't have a problem with the church offending people. I just want to make sure they are offending for the right reasons, namely the gospel.
