My comments on this conversation that was a response to this thought:

Look, I'm going to be real here, (cue lighting, side shot camera 2, sit casually on stool), I struggle with all of this.

(cut to front camera 1, pause, look at audience...er...congregation, cue camera shot of congregation, back to camera 2, begin background music) I've said this before, and I'll say it again, the last thing our disconnected culture needs is a local expression of the Body of Christ that is nothing more than representation, where strangers sit next to strangers and listen to "great" messages delivered by strangers...and yet they all feel like they "know" each other and have "fellowship" with one another. When it comes to the screen pastors and "authenticity", it's like watching American Idol and deciding that you're somehow "close" to a certain contestant.

It's creepy.

(lights down, exit stage right, bring up music)
