When someone says, "church people," what mental picture comes to mind? For many, the mental picture may resemble the stern, pitchfork-clutching father and dour daughter of the iconic painting, "American Gothic" by Grant Wood. Judgmental, humorless, and unchanging, how can the church survive? Pastor and religion scholar, Jeffery Warren Scott, helps church members see themselves as outsiders do and gives practical suggestions on how churches can change their image and become the encouraging, joyful, and compassionate people they are meant to be.
