Kansas City & Weird Christians
If you want to learn about urban Kansas City’s uneasy relationship with evangelical Christianity, the archives of The Pitch are a good place to start.
A couple observations jump out pretty fast.
1. Don’t use bait and switch “marketing” tactics to “share the gospel.” People hate it. (Scroll down to “Hell No, We Won’t Go!”
2. Don’t disrupt the neighborhoods you’re trying to serve. With, you know, crazy rock and roll music and overflow parking.
Additional suggestions? As I continue to read the local rags, I’ll be keeping a list.

Another suggestion might be not calling local papers “rags.”

Tell me you’re not serious…

I’m with AJ on this one. The Pitch qualifies as a “rag” more than a newspaper, considering you can find the answer to whatever your desires are in the back pages.

As a former newspaper dude, “rag” is pretty much shorthand for any local paper/magazine.

I seriously thought your post title was “Kansas City and Weird Christmas” the first time I read it. And the second, and the third. Which might explain why nothing made sense.
