Non-Traditional Families

This morning, I was reading an article about the church trying to be more relevant to the modern world. The following quote caught my attention:
"The latest figures on births and marriages show that about 44 per cent of children are born to unmarried women."
I'm curious how many of those children are born to unmarried fathers. But I digress.

I think Kurt Cobain has some insight for the church.
Come
As you are
As you were
As I want you to be
As a friend
As a friend
As a known memory
Take your time
Hurry up
The choice is yours
Dont be late
Take a rest
As a friend
As a known memory
I think the church needs to be saying something similar.

If you haven't ever read anything screwed up, you didn't notice that I just took Nirvana lyrics and suggested them as guidance for the church. (You also haven't read God's Other Son by Don Imus, which is severely screwed up.)

Mike, I am pretty sure the praise band at Bridgeway Nazarene used that song in a worship service.

I wonder how they tied in the "I don't have a gun" bit.
