I am going through an especially busy season of life right now, so I am only posting about once a month. This may change in a few months.

If you add me to your RSS, you will know when I do have a new post.

It makes me wonder if a lot of the growth in new, “non denominational” churches are due to their freedom from the expectations of the older members of congregations? I once talked to an episcopalian pastor who due to the small size of his congregations had to run a circuit of 3 churches every Sunday. I asked if the congregations ever thought of consolidating with another denomination, and his reply is that they wouldn’t tolerate the change in the form of worship. So unless kids start to get a taste for 18th century hymns I don’t see a future for his churches.

I would venture to hypothesize that college students per capita are reached far more than their military counterparts in the same age group. I think you would also see a significant split among the individual services thereof. Anybody know if such statistics exist?
