Puritan Board Professor
I don't know about the latter, but I know of a very prominent one that just did an art show.Although I certainly agree that the PCA may need to broaden the demographics of its congregations, I find that blog post extraordinarily unhelpful. It comes off as venomous and bitter. I'm actually shocked that a pastor would use such a tone. I don't doubt that he has a very valid point - one that I would probably agree with - but I'm put off by his lack of charity.
We are where we are. We need to be faithful in those locations.
I think this is a great point. Educated professionals need the gospel just as much as anyone else. Of course, we must not neglect others in favor of the elites, but we shouldn't simply reject the elites either.
Better yet, just pick up a copy of By Faith, any one of the last 5-6 issues. You won't see anything on poverty ministry, or the blue collar churches - but you will see at least one article each issue on how some white, suburban (or tragically hip church plant) is "ministering" to the community through an art gallery, or a gay outreach ensemble, or the like.
Are there really PCAs ministering through "gay outreach ensembles?"
