Sadly your experience as a visitor in that church reflects something of the culture at large. Americans tend to live isolated lives cut off from one another and unfortunately the church can be no different. One of the best-selling books in the US this year is Seth Godin's "Tribes" which is about how social media has caused Americans to re-form and re-think communities ("tribes"). The book deeply resonated with me and is a must-read for all pastors and leaders in the church. The old way of doing things (like in the post above) needs to be changed drastically and, as PC commented, is one of the reasons atheism (or non church involvement for that matter) is growing. Fortunately there are churches that "get it." You just have to seek harder to find them... A most excellent post.
