MPR: Minneapolis church at the forefront of a cutting-edge religious movement – ” Pastor Doug Pagitt sits on a stool that he slowly turns 360 degrees to make eye contact with everyone at the service.
This is by design. Before the service, Pagitt explains there is no hierarchy within this church or with other churches.
“This tendency for Christians to see themselves as the most elite of the spiritual people in the world is not only distasteful to a lot of us but it’s sort of maddening, because that image has been well-earned over the last 50 years — that Christians speak as if they’re the elite, they’re the believers and everybody else are the non-believers,” Pagitt says. ”
