What does your church really think?

Two quotes from this weekend's read for my Small Group Ministries class:

"We're on the inside, you're on the outside. We're right, and you're wrong. If you want to come inside, then you need to be right. So just believe right, think right, speak right, and act right, and we'll let you in."
or

“We are a community bound together and energized by faith, love, and a commitment to Jesus Christ. Even though you don’t yet share that faith, love, and commitment, you are most welcome to be with us, to belong here, to experience what we’re about. Then, if you are attracted and persuaded by what you see, you’ll want to set down roots here long-term. And even if you don’t, you’ll always be a friend.”
Which church would you like to belong to?
Thanks, Brian Mc! (More Ready than you Realize, Zondervan, 2002)
