John, you're right-- it's hard being faithful to the model of Christian presence in our world set forth in Scripture when your fellow believers have not only lost a voice in the surrounding culture, but have also lost any ability to move in it freely as genuine followers of Christ without feeling they need to put on a facade of "good Christians" (whatever that is).
