Of all the group affiliations I had in college, one of my favorites remains the Evil Christian Fellowship.
More disgruntled than actually evil, we were a group of believers who didn't fit in with the local InterVarsity chapter. Some of it was that we weren't on board with the doctrine. Some of it reflected a different view of authority, or a different web of relationships. A big chunk was that we just didn't fit in, and created a semi-clandestine identity for ourselves, even as we remained actively involved in the larger official group.
Jenny wanted to be a part of the team. She envied the chip we had on our shoulders, and had her own problems with the InterVarsity chapter. So one day while she was talking with Dave Block and me, she mentioned the Evil Christian Fellowship in the first person.
Block just stared at her a moment, and then he handed down the ultimate rejection.
"I'm sorry, Jenny, but you're just not evil enough."
