unChristian

I just finished reading a book called unChristian, and I could just post my book review, but I'd rather have a discussion with you guys about the ideas dealt with in the book.

The research of the book is by the president of the Barna Group. The findings are that pretty much a third to half of people within the church, ages 18-29, and two thirds or more of people outside of the church in the same age group, find the church to be hypocritical, concerned only with making converts, antihomosexual, sheltered, and judgemental.

This is not what we're supposed to be about. We know that already.

And you can't really refute their research- they're the professionals, some of the best researchers in the country, and their findings were overwhelming and surprising even to them.

My question is this: What do we do now?

I want to hear your ideas on what the church should do to change these misconceptions of hypocracy and legalism.

I'm in Hawaii, so I probably won't be able to respond until next week.

Enjoy!
