Eventually, some Churches will realize they may be able to grow the number of churchgoers by emphasizing social events.
Some already do this.
Socially events are viewed as trouble for churches. One lawsuit for sexual harassment and it isn’t worth it.
That and the older members may not be interested in bringing in younger people.
I found all your coments puzzling. As someone who has served in the church in two denominations, and who has visited dozens of churches in many other denominations over a period of decades, I can honestly say that a concern of mine - and numerous others - is that of church becoming primarily a social club of sorts, with many varied activities.
As far as sexual harassment goes, Pence did not originate the so-called Pence Rule; he merely popularized it. The clergy I have known who got in trouble (especially youth ministers) did not live by that prudent and practical approach.
As far as the food goes, I have myself had so many meals at so many churches, I have lost all count; I never had food poisoning once. I once knew a little boy who called the social events side of community “Eating Church.”
