You and me both, pretty much. To use a southern colloquialism, "I reckon" I could get along living near you. I need a good mechanic from time to time, anyways
Probably not so much in your area, but a lot of evangelical churches up here are slightly left-leaning, or at least what left-leaning was 10 years ago or so. Middle class Christian culture really seems to be behind popular culture by at least 10 or more years. If your church is operating on a corporatist business model, that's not really the way to attract interest.
I was half trying to come up with a funny acronym, I failed. I am a centrist, in that I don't like either side. There's a Unitarian Church in Boone and a hipster church called "Rock" in what used to be a Win Dixie. We don't have the population for MegaChurch but, there are several large new building "mini-megs" as I call them mainly Baptist and one United Methodist (they're kinda leftish, they let WIMIN be preachers! "Quick men Run and get your codpieces" ). I have no idea how they operate. I know the type of people, a dull, regimented lot who dress alike, look alike and think alike. I tried, really tried for years to fit in the mold, because I thought that's what God wanted. In the end, I just gave up, "I'm not one of these people, they know it, I know it and I'm tolerated 'cause they think it's their christian duty".
