Christians are supposed to represent Christ to the world. But according to the latest report card something has gone terribly wrong. Using description like "hypocritical", "insensitive", and "judgemental," young people share a impression of Christians that's nothing short of...UnChristian.
The data for this book was collected in the US, but still there is something this be learned. The Canadian church has been distant from culture and not cared for the needs within their communities. This has sent a message that we are all about us. Not every church has been guilty of this, but many have. At Church at the Falls we want to work hard at being a caring church that is reaching the disenchanted in our community. A big job, but not impossible.
