[PetroniusMaximus]

Last gasp of a dying church.

Yes. They never learn. They think by imitating the ways of the fallen world they will attract its inhabitants. Churches in the US were sucked in by this in the sixties and seventies.--"Gotta be relevant" they cried--and the exodus became a flood, with much weeping and gnashing of teeth and carnage at the exits.

I once tried to teach a Sunday School Class for junior high kids in the late seventies. The book provided me to use had a chapter on interpersonal relations that began "Suppose you see this groovey chick..."(I'm absolutely certain the morons who wrote it had no idea where "groovey" came from!)

It went downhill from there, and I couldn't finish the term.
