True and False Transformation

from Christianity Today:

A pastor once asked me, "Isn't your church worldly?"

"What do you mean by worldly?" I asked him.

He answered, "People in the world listen to contemporary music, and you use contemporary music in your church. People in the world use drama, and you use drama. Everybody knows that Christians should be different from non-Christians by being more loving and joyful and all that stuff, but everybody knows we're not. So shouldn't we do something to make ourselves different?"

I felt like saying, "In other words, if we can't be holy, then we should at least be weird?"
