If I were prone to attend an affinity church it would be something like:
The Church of Saint Clarence Odbody
formerly known as
The Church of the Blessed Mess
It would have a sign (probably misspelled):
“Welcome to the screwups, the not-good-enoughs, the awkwards and clumsies. Welcome to the morons, the barely-made-its, and the can’t-you-be-on-times. Welcome to the criticized, mocked, and ignored.
Don’t expect that it will be better here, but we’re broken too.
So perhaps we can share our brokenness.”
