Almost certainly. A real shame he's in Oklahoma.

What's a hipster church?  I've never heard of such a thing.  Do they ironically go to church?

Unsurprisingly they exist in Brooklyn too:

But as for mine, summary:

So I went there again today. I have to say I'm quite happy that I did because despite being technically in a suburb this service was TOTAL SJW to the max. The sermon series for Advent is about reconciliation, and the speaker (who was actually the band leader) opted to talk about reconciliation in race, and talked about Michael Brown and the protests, brought up the CIA memos about torture and how people might try to justify such violence because of violence against us in 9/11 and at one point said "There are five things about me that give me great privilege: One is that I'm male, two is that I'm white, three is that I'm straight, fourth is that I'm American and fifth is that I'm Christian" and that most of those probably applied to most of us in the all white room. Remember when I brought up church sermons that resemble Upworthy videos? This was like PURE Upworthy and if I recorded it it could probably easily end up on there. "What This Worship Band Leader Has To Say May Be Hard To Hear For Those With Privilege, And That's Why You Need To"

Dammit if only Bushie would go to a place like this. Alas they probably don't exist in Oklahoma. Sad

Also in an odd mix, I bet all of DC Al Fine, Simfan and Nathan would be utterly horrified.

Basically, BRTD means a liberal Protestant church emphasizing social justice over traditional messages like salvation and heaven/hell.

Um, no. That sounds like many traditionalist mainline Protestant churches, which is NOTHING like what I'm talking about it. Very low church, charismatic, young (at least 90% in attendance were under 40), music is not only modern but more like coffeeshop indie instead of CCM crap and full of handraising and the like.

Weirdly, BRTD's church probably does at least have better music than the liberal mainline Prots, though obviously not something befitting of a sacramental liturgy.

I was going to say you probably wouldn't like the hymn cover that was basically pop punk until I remembered that you actually do like pop punk.

Let me say this: I did not see a single person as fat as Bushie at the service yesterday.

Well there just weren't many, if any fats at all there. I'm sure Bushie's not the only one at whatever church he goes to on the other hand. So memphis might have a point.

Erma Bushie is a straight white male. On the contrary he'd be called on to check his privilege.

I think the fats rate was low in your church BRTD because you live in urban Minnesota

It was in a suburb though, remember? Though granted I'd be willing to bet a majority of those in attendance lived in Minneapolis.
