It's fun to read an article written from a somewhat "outsider" perspective (the descriptions of bands and music are particularly amusing). I'd also be interested in reading a more comprehensive insider-perspective study of churches in SF and the Bay Area. In particular, I'd love to see a deeper survey of the latent conservatism of many "hipster" or "emergent" churches here, once you scratch deeper than the surface. People get squeamish quickly if you delve too far into questions of homosexuality, past the "don't focus on it" attitude described in the article. There's also a surprisingly large "God called us to live in this dark city of sin" contingent, which I find sad: if you can't appreciate a place like San Francisco, you're only half alive: surely the antithesis of the promise of Christianity.
