Church Hopes ‘Sorry’ Campaign Will Attract Youth
November 19th, 2008
SWEDESBORO, N.J. (CBS) ― A South Jersey church is taking an unusual approach to get more people to come worship. They are hoping a simple “We’re Sorry” will go a long way.
“We’re Sorry” reads on a highway billboards in neighborhood around the church. A “We’re Sorry” sign also hangs outside pastor Mark Barnish’s home.
“We’re sorry for being judgmental, we’re sorry for being too political, we’re sorry for being anti-homosexual, we’re sorry for being boring,” Lloyd said.
It’s a campaign pastor Barnish started at his church to get 16 to 30 year-olds to come worship.
Barnish, a husband and father who grew up Catholic, said the book “unChristian” inspired him. In the book, the authors revealed research into what makes young people uncomfortable in the Christian faith.
