America's Most Sinful Cities
Interesting graph on Forbes that lets you click on one of the 7 deadly sins and see how the cities measure up. HT: Tim Wright.
Lust, anyone?
Hmmm . . . Houston makes the cut. And Seattle.
What about Gluttony?
Well hey you'all in the Bible belt! Ummmm .. . love that southern cooking!
And San Francisco - no wonder with all those great restaurants!
Hey, it would be interesting to see what sins characterize the various cities and then let the churches in those cities determine if they are doing well in presenting a different story. Kiwi John Dawson suggested something similar in his book "Taking our cities for God"
anyone else shocked that Las Vegas isn't on the list?

Agreed. I think Vegas would be on the "lust / greed" list.....

Canberra (my home town) - Pride. Are my home churches doing well in presenting a different story? Guess!
