Are we...?

From Gabe Lyons, co-author of unChristian:

"Ministry in general relates to mission, and mission in general relates to context. You need to understand the context of the world your ministry is trying to reach.

Non-Christians aged 16-29 years old were asked, “What is your current perception of Christianity?”

  • 91% said antihomosexual
  • 87% said judgmental
  • 85% said hypocritical
  • 78% said old-fashioned
  • 75% said too involved in politics
  • 72% said out of touch with reality
  • 70% said insensitive to others
  • 68% said boring
  • 64% said not accepting of other faiths
  • 61% said confusing"
Some things to think about:

Which perception most closely applies to your ministry or church in general?

How did we get here? Maybe we actually are these things.

What do you think?
