I am more missionally persuaded but very familiar with the seeker/attractional church model. This morning my wife and I visited an American Baptist church, a congregation one of my wife’s friends attends. I wanted to go online and research American Baptist this afternoon but I decided not to do that. Sometimes I think it might be best the less we knew about the inner workings (some might call it politics) and the history of the thousands of faith heritages in America. As expected, the people were very friendly and helpful. But oh my, was it a throwback to the 1980s—traditional church, choir, special choir, and the organ (at the same time I found a reverence there that seemed to be missing in the attractional church). Ok, how about some thoughts from the American Baptist out there. Do you guys do internet?
