其實教會一路以來，都有不同的衝擊， 但如何處理真的很重要。比如曾經有段時間，教會對如何應用在社群有不同的見解。 有個著名的例子，世界組織基督教青年會YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association), 他們就很强調社會關懷和參與。在80年代，美國YMCA找來了流行樂隊Villiage People 錄製了主題歌曲 YMCA. 短時間内，這首歌差不多爬到所有流行榜的首位，風頭一時無兩。有很多人因爲這首歌，加進了YMCA. 後來Villiage People 被發現爲同性戀者，聲勢日下。（當時同性戀并無今日開放）YMCA 當然劃清界綫。如果看歌詞，就可以看出并無任何基督教内容，甚至是鼓吹享樂主義。（部分如下）

young man, there's no need to feel down
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy
年輕人，不必沮喪
我說，年輕人，站起來吧！
我說，年輕人，因為你來到了一個新城。
你就快樂起來吧！
Young man, there's a place you can go
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.
年輕人，有一個地方你可以去
我說，年輕人，當你一貧如洗
你可以住在那裡，我敢肯定你會發現
你一定會快樂無比
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
They have everything for young men to enjoy.
You can hang out with all the boys.
待在YMCA多快樂
待在YMCA多快樂
你可以盡情享受那裡的一切
你可以盡情地和所有男孩在一起
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.
You can get yourself clean
You can have a good meal
You can do whatever you feel.
待在YMCA多快樂
待在YMCA多快樂
你可以穿戴整齊

Young man, Are you listeneing to me
I said, young man, what do you want to be
I said, young man, you can make real your dreams,
but you've got to know this one thing.
年輕人，你在聽我說嗎
我說，年輕人，你想成為什麼
我說，年輕人，你的夢想會成真
但是有一點你一定要知道：
No man, does it all by himself
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf
And just go there, to the Y.M.C.A.
I'm sure they can help you today
所有的事不是你一个人可以解决的
我说, 年轻人, 把你骄傲放在架子上吧
去吧, 去那里, 去YMCA
我肯定,他们会帮助你的!
Young Man, I was once in your shoes,
I said, I was down and out with the blues
I felt, no man cared if I were alive
I felt the whole world was so jive
年輕人，我以前也有和你一樣的遭遇
我說，我整個無望無助
感覺沒有一個人關心你
感覺整個世界都在和你作對
That's when someone came up to me
and said young man take a walk up the street
There's a place there called the Y.M.C.A.
They can start you back on your way.
然後有人走來說
他說，年輕人，沿著這條街走過去
有個地方叫YMCA
他們會讓你從頭開始
