I really had no idea where to post this, so I picked the best I could...
This is discussing Christian stereotypes or perhaps breaking stereotypes in this case...I had come across a small town church in my area. There was an article about it saying that it was bar turned church.
From the photos, some of them look like they just got of jail, ink that cover every inch of their bodies. The Pastor is of the same look, and on top of that gauge ear rings. Sleeve tats, tats across the chest, you name it. Muscle shirts are worn, etc. The wife, suprisingly, no visible ink and quite classy looking.
I think this is the bad boy look that other Christian women are looking for? lol
Dress like a bad boy, but be like a Christian. Forget the pleated Dockers, deck shoes, and polo shirt...because I would not fit in if I decided to pay them a visit.
Not your typical Sunday best.
The church says they are of the non-denom variety, very small, and a former bar.
But, isn't that the general idea. The article mentioned that quite a few of their parents have DUI's under their belts, drug users, trying to turn their lives around.
It was rather jarring to have come across this, as this doesn't seem to be the typical Christian that most of us are used to.
Do you know of any places like this? Would you go to their services?
