Mars Hill articles

This last week, 2 area newspapers wrote articles on Mars Hill.

The first is from the Belltown Messenger, a local neighborhood paper that is a little less than "traditional." Belltown is a few blocks north of the downtown city center, and it's the home of Mars Hill (it's also where Ashley and I used to live). From the article, it doesn't take long to realize what kind of neighborhood Mars Hill is situated in, which makes the content of this article so encouraging/exciting. When an agnostic/atheist writes an article like this, it makes me proud of my school.

WARNING: the paper and neighborhood have some rough edges, which are apparent in this article - some content could be offensive:

The second is from the Post-Intelligencer, one of Seattle's main papers - similar to the Columbus Dispatch. This article is much more traditional:
