The Times reports today that “a small but growing number of congregations now recognize that many homeless people will not attend traditional services indoors. So these congregations now go outdoors to bring church to the homeless and anyone else who happens along.”
The article, “No Altar, No Pews, Not Even a Roof, but Very Much a Church,” cites Asheville, along with cities including Atlanta, Cincinatti and San Francisco, as places where “street church” is gaining converts.
