Mark Riddle: Consumer Church. Instead of ‘An exciting, relevant, contemporary, family church with dynamic ministries for God’ that really translates into: ‘we’re a bunch of boring people who want to be exciting, we’ve recently added guitar (or synthesizer) to our services… we don’t really know each other very well but we have things for everyone in your family to do while your here.’ Wow, that first quote is almost exactly what my church’s homepage says. Mark Riddle is a pretty insightful guy, even if he doesn’t return my emails.

Update: Mark got back to me, which makes me a dork and him still insightful.
