I don't know if you've read about the whole 'Church v Strippers' saga in the US, but i liked how the people at CMS summed up the lesson in two phrases
Antagonizing people is never a good way to communicate the gospel.
Your strategy should be consistent with your message. (If you believe in love, you should communicate with love - not judgement).
Two lessons that you think would be obvious, but apparently not - otherwise this would never have happened.
Instead it's yet another time where Christians have got in the way of someone knowing Jesus. Or as Todd Rhoades puts it "The one thing this church has done with their actions is pretty much guarantee that none of them will have anything to do with any of these people coming to Christ".
