I'm Methodist so attending church has about the same spiritual significance as watching American Idle these days.
I went to an Evangelical Free church where watching American Idol was part of the sermon "experience." I'm not kidding. I think they used Barna studies to tell them that's what I wanted. When I left a note on their pass-around attendance sheet (they asked for comments) telling them I didn't get why they loved the world so much, or why hollywood is fit to lead their church service, they just got testy with me. Lesson: they don't care what Christians think. They just want flash for cash. They want to replace old Christians with trendy seekers who might part with more money (I guess). In many cases, I don't think real Christians are leading our churches. Maybe Barna should profile what pastors believe and don't believe. That might give more insight into why some people stay "unchurched."
LOL!
I grew up in the United Methodist Church as well. I never really heard the gospel preached until I visited a Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) congregation in my early 30's. I'm a member there now and I've never looked back. I thank God for His patience with me.
Years ago I attended the Methodist wedding of a friend. The service was almost over before God was even mentioned, when the Lord's Prayer was prayed. I was saddened.
