I Know, I Know...

Yes, I talk about Jon Acuff a lot.
Yes, I ask all of you to go to Stuff Christians Like a lot.
I apologize, but Jon's most recent post is just too good to pass up.

I think I scored relatively low on this little list Jon made and I feel pretty good about that.

Here's what Jon's got to say:

There are some things in life that are concrete and true. For instance, it is a fact that "You're all I Want for Christmas" by Mariah Carey and "Christmas in Hollis" by Run DMC are fantastic songs. No argument there. But when you tell someone about your church, there's not a standard system to describe the degree of metrosexuality your worship leader possesses. Wouldn't it be awesome to say, "You'll love my church and the music. Our worship leader scored a 78 on the SCL Metro Test."

Don't answer that last question. It was rhetorical. As a service to churches around the world, here is an easy rating system by which to analyze to what degree your worship leader is a metrosexual.

...I feel like a 55 item list of analyzing worship leaders is enough to earn me a new batch of "you are weird" emails, and at the end of the day, that's all I can ask for.What does your worship leader score?
