Angela Caddell started struggling with her Christianity 14 years ago when she came out as gay. But a gathering at a bar to talk faith over a cold beer once a month is helping her feel more connected to her religion.

"If you're an atheist you are welcome. .... I'm a lesbian, I'm totally welcome," said the 32-year-old from nearby Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, at a recent gathering.

"Tonight we're talking about scapegoating. There is no scapegoating that happens here."

This event is called "Jesus & Beer" and it's part of an effort by some Christian groups throughout the country to recruit parishioners, connect with people struggling with faith or provide a relaxed outlet to talk religion.
