It is sad to me, that we have come to a day when we rejoice over the concept of becoming "mainstream."
As I look at God's people throughout time, his "church" has never been mainstream. In the OT, the nation of Israel was given 613 commandments, many of which had no relevance other than separation/distinction from those around them. God wanted anyone who saw an Israelite to immediately be able to identify them as such, this by its very nature set them aside from the "mainstream" of society not to mention their belief in the "only true God."
The idea of the modern day church assimilating into the "mainstream" religious circles, reeks of a decent into compromise and if not checked into apostasy. JMHO
