Museum or Hospital? or something else?

What is Church for anyway?  Who meets the standards to join my church?  Is it better if they dress, think, and speak just like me?  What if they smoke, and my church frowns on smoking?   What if somebody walks through the door who is homeless?

What if they bring kids who are noisy and run up and down the aisles? 

How genuine is my welcome to the smoker?  the homeless?  the kid who shatters the quiet of the sanctuary?

If Church is designed to elevate the race, how can we make the "race" feel more welcome?
