Lance- i'm surprised they banned you without anyone wanting or expressing the desire to walk thru WITH you on your repentance...
Also- i love what you said about condemning "at whichever point you condemn a person, you condemn yourself at the same point."
SO what is this article doing? It's basically condemning Mars Hill Church as a whole. That means thousands and thousands of people are feeling the weight of this. No group of people wants to feel condemned like how this article is being played out. Yes, you bash the Mark Driscoll name, but what about the others who call this church 'home'? You say you have friends that go there, but it sounds like you've just threw them under the bus. Think about all the other types of organized groups. GLSEN, Jewish, Muslim, Mormons, Young Life, Red Cross, Peace Core. ALL have flaws, so may agree or disagree with their core beliefs and systems, and I bet you could find someone who's been hurt by their organization as well. Lance- i encourage you to address the issue again. You ask for them to be humble and respond and repent, if you give them a chance to do that, maybe they will. Get off your soap box and do something about it.

I think we need to understand that this article is pretentious and one sided. Like ANY church, it's flawed and is lead by an imperfect man. With that said, MANY people have met Christ because of this church. Many people who go to this church love Jesus, are kind, respectful and friendly. Last time I checked, people are flawed and messy and Mars Hill DOES recognize that they also fall short just like everyone else. SO many people have been going to Mars Hill recently, can we celebrate that it's bringing people together instead of causing division within our city.
