Church Hopping Blog - What Agnostics Think About Church

Thanks to Chris Glazier at MinistryToday magazine for pointing the way to a website called, "Church Hopping." It is written by two self-proclaimed agnostics who are visiting churches around Cincinnati incognito and then posting their thoughts about what they saw and heard. They are using a specific template of questions that includes ranking the church on a scale of 1 - 10 from "1: I was so uncomfortable and/or offended that I did not stay to the end of services." to "10: This church was welcoming and thought-provoking. I would recommend that others experience this church."

As a pastor, I found it very interesting to read their posts, especially since I was familiar with at least one of the congregations they rated. I wish they were in the Dallas area so that they could visit our church anonymously and send us their thoughts. Things sometimes look very different to someone who is from "outside" the Christian community...!
