As church attendance falls, one group believes that the lure of a burger and fries might make church more appealing. ... "Christianity is unable to capture modern audiences. There's a lack of innovation and lack of design thinking in Church communities." ... "It's time for churches to engage with entrepreneurship," writes the group on its IndieGoGo site. "By combining a church and a McDonald's we can create a self-sustaining, community-engaged, popular church, and an unparalleled McDonald's restaurant."

While in Ft. Worth, TX.  a church gave this a try:  "Church-in-a-Pub gets churchgoers in to the spirit, "so to speak." Worship leaders hold communion at the bar, singing hymns and songs of praise.

Magic acts, 3-D glasses, popcorn, beer, pretzels, coffee, donuts, a fifteen minute mini message, a great rock band, and hanging out with friends.  Who could ask for anything more?  Just don't get much better?


But God says:  "come out of her my people and be ye separate."  

Light and dark cannot co-exist, yet it seems the church in America continues to try.
