Maybe the solution is to recognize that America has heard the Gospel, and largely rejected it. That we are responsible for telling the truth about the Good News, but NOT responsible for how many convert.

Maybe an expanding denomination in America isn’t likely to happen in post-Christian America, and we need to look to where the harvest is located...

Our responsibility is to focus on Jesus, not diversity. Pandering - as was done with the vote on immigration this year - is NOT the way to spread the Gospel.

Another idea: more church private schools to supplement home schooling.

I disagree -- as I've pointed out in other posts, this decline in faith is apparent across various denominations and more importantly across different religions -- Mormons, Hindus even Moslems experience the same with increased "Westernisation" -- the culture of television, Sunday mall, etc.

People need something to "worship", so many now worship their tvs and TV American Idols...
