1. You've got to be kidding me.

They use a mammoth corporation that destroys the environment, uses child labor, sells poison to the public and does not pay its workers a living wage as an example of what Christian Churches should be doing?

Going to McDonalds is bad for your health; Is that what churches want to become?

3. Well, some churches

are already bad for your health, so to speak. Too much hell-fire and damnation, too little love and compassion. To quote John Dominic Crossan, "who needs a church, any church, anyway?"

2. I read the HL and thought it meant going after the dying,

who might be induced to leave the church a little somethin' in the will.....

It's still grotesque, but at least not ghoulish.

4. What's with this obsession with numbers?

What matters is if a church is meeting one's spiritual needs. I grew up in a church with over 2000 members, and found it rather cold spiritually, though the main minister was a person to whom I could relate. I was at a church today where they had a big crowd for them-over 70 people-and the love and spiritual nourishment there was overflowing.

The purpose of a spiritual gathering is not in numbers; that, it would seem to me, is something used to impress others, and as such is from the ego. Those interested in direct experience of the One can find it when their hearts and minds are open-wherever two or more are gathered.....

5. I grew up going to a pretty small Presbyterian church....

...and I had a few experiences going to some of my friends "MegaChurches"...to put it simply, it wasn't for me. I recognize that some people relate better in such an environment, but I really need more of a community feeling. Plus, I remember that the worship services were filled with what seemed like cheap gimmicks to me.

I guess I never bought into the "PowerTEAM" and their ability to 'channel the lord' to rip phone books apart and smash bricks on each other...

to each his own.

On the other hand, I'm sad when I go home and see that my church hasn't really grown much (and the congregation is getting much older, with less youth activity)...
