A Church in Denver, USA, who say of themselves ...
'It doesn't sound like a church name ... on purpose. We really want to connect with people who have no interest in "church" by society's definition ... we think we have a unique calling to reach out to our otherwise unreached friends. Our name is integral to that process. Whether outcast by society (e.g., punks, skaters, ravers, homeless people...) or by the church itself, many who come can identify with the name "Scum of the Earth" since they have been previously treated as such.
