Links and Connections

This one time, a guy came to our churchplant.  The one that met in the movie theater.  And he introduced himself as a reporter of some kind, and asked a few of us questions, and went away.  Later, he published a story in The Christian Science Monitor that was not very flattering- I would say for good reasons, and it wasn't mean-spirited.  I was quoted in that article.  And then it got picked up by USA Today, and maybe the Associated Press.  Have some fun, google my name and "The Church of Higher Tech".  There's a crazy sermon from a pastor in Ontario about how our little church was pretty much the devil.

Anyway, I'm working on putting together my portfolio of writing and thought I'd look up this article.  As part of that, I found this article by the same reporter, though much newer and in the New York Times, and I must say, it reflects a lot of what drove me from or keeps me from pastoring.  Well worth a read.
