We want to bring people in, of course we do. But there’s no point in bringing them into a church where Jesus Christ is not the one and only Lord of lords.

This story should have forever silenced the claim that people in Ohio are strait-laced and pedestrian.

Pastor Gored by Mad Bull–in Church!

So your church service includes bull-wrangling? And the pastor almost gets killed? Well, that oughta put some fannies in the pews!

But at least we’ve now made it clear, I think, how far is too far for the seeker-friendly church to go.

I wonder if the embedded video still works.
