I don’t like the way you do church.

The music is too loud or too soft
The preaching is too emotional or too academic
The pastor is too unavailable or too nosy
The building is too ornate or too plain
The liturgy is too old or too new
The ethnic mix is too homogenous or too diverse
The congregation is too big or too small
The sermons are too long or… no that’s it – they’re too long
That’s OK.

You feel the same about my church. For the same reasons.

There’s no style of church that everyone likes.
