Great questions from Pat at Cheesehead:

Is our church safe to punks… bikers… unwed mothers with child… couples that live together… the man who is dealing with lust… the gal who is doubting God… the college kid who believes in Darwin’s evolution… to those who question….?

That is what I want to know….

How safe is your church?

My response to him was this:

Jesus calls us to be a safe place for those on the cultural fringe and a dangerous place for those in the cultural center; We’re a safe place for those in the cultural center and a dangerous place for those on the cultural fringe.

We’ve got it, in Hoosier lexicon, bass ackwards.
