I work with Shelley. Lucky me.
Here’s the money quote:
“What we don’t need are churches that pull people in with flashy lights and preach abstinence and call for sin-fixing. What we need are faithful communities that remind us that we have a responsibility to all of God’s creation, not just fellow Christians or only to God. We need churches that connect us to the Christians of old. We need active faith that address the needs of today’s world.”
