I think this is very important, and is a big contrast to the LSM practice of hard-core recruitment, which a number of religious groups practice as well. This violates several key spiritual principles.

I agree with KSA that it's refreshing not trying to recruit other Christians. But Aron's statment regarding non-recruitment seems to butt up against the Great Commission. I know recruitment is an ugly word, but aren't Christians supposed to go out and persuade others to follow Christ as well?
I like Djohnsons description of the church he attends. The Sunday Services are apparently focused on non-Christians or unchurched Christians. I think church should be as much about outreach as it is about fellowship.
