So I was talking with my friends about church.

I was informed during the talk that much of church tradition finds origins in pagan practice, and at any rate isn’t biblical. I, having felt much dissatisfaction with business as usual, pondered another way, a more maverick-y way. 

Is there a more biblical, more naturally evangelistic, more inclusive, more relationally based church model?

This is probably a commonly asked question. Perhaps it is not the most important issue, or even a marginally important issue. I don't know. 

I am curious.

The point isn’t to gouge a chasm between people. The point is to live the most effectively we can. The point is to try to find out why something is done and discern if it is valuable.
