Turntables and Jesus

Quote of the Day: Hip-Hop Church Pastor Tommy Kyllonen

"Hip-hop has what all corporate America wants -- 18-35-year-old employed adults with growing families. That's why you see Russell Simmons producing clothes, Snoop Dogg hawking Chrysler. Everyone wants us. Why not the church?"

-- The Rev. Tommy Kyllonen, senior pastor of Crossover Community Church in Tampa, Fla., a hip-hop church where sermons are enhanced by rap music and videos. He was quoted by USA Today.
