Mainline churches... are hemorrhaging members in startling numbers, but many of those folks are not leaving Christianity. They are simply going elsewhere.... other very different kinds of churches are holding strong... In some ways, they are even growing. This is what this new research has found.

Yeah, how is that women pastors, gay marriage, Chrislam, and/or rejection of scriptural authority working out for ya, ELCA, PCUSA, UCC, ELCA, RCC, UMC?

Good news. Praying for revival.

I should be clearer...this is the good news part. Still praying for a revival though.

With the understanding Christianity can grow, while at the same time we see churches fail and fall, we can begin to examine this oxymoron. Just by going to church does not necessarily make you a Christian. We are GOD’S TEMPLE. He can be found in each of us if He is sought. These are the new Christians. They accept Christ and prepare a place for Him.

I think you are wrong about the Catholic Church.

Hhhhmmm. Seems this is missing southern Indiana, where traveling sports on the weekends seems to be emptying the churches. I just had a conversation with our local newspaper editor about it.
