“Mars Hill counts four of the city’s top tattoo artists among its members … While other churches left people like Conklin feeling alienated, Mars Hill has made them its missionaries.”
How good is that! (It’s a good article, in the New York Times)

i didn’t think it was a good article.
i wrote this on my delicious tag: “this article has a bit of a bias, but still some okay stuff”

Fair call
I actually didn’t notice the bias…. Now that you mention it, I see some… I guess the amazing thing is that, even with the bias, Mark still comes across well!
It doesn’t do justice to the doctrines of grace, and the last paragraph is a tad unfair…
and yet, Mark and Mars Hill come across well, I reckon. I reckon the kinds of people Mark’s trying to reach would be more likely to listen to him after reading it than before. And having a rep (of any kind) isn’t bad if you want to draw a crowd.
