		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;re been following the story of Crossroads Church, you&#8217;re familiar with our vision to be the church for the portion of our population that has forsaken all things &#8220;church.&#8221;  These are people who would be out of place in a &#8220;normal&#8221; church &#8212; even one as dynamic and open as some truly are.
