The Guardian, that leftist wipe, has not noticed the parking lots of nondenominational churches, which are jammed for four and five services on Sunday. The mainline denominations are losing membership while the nondenominational churches have to hire off duty cops to direct traffic, or bus parishioners in from remote parking. People are not losing their faith.
This.
That may be true, but I find non-denom to be childish and unfulfilling pablum.
In fact, many of the people who embrace today’s garbage fully embrace these churches. They like it because there is lots of rock music and it’s “fun”, like a concert. They’re told simplistic things such as “love” with little discussion of biblical teachings to guide people in how they live, which IS important (look at our society). They are most often not at all pious in every-day life, not at all. They continue to embrace modern hedonistic sinful ways. That does not bespeak “religious”.
The Traditine Catholic Parishes are bursting at the seams too..sometime hard to find a seat.
Of course the Pope on a Rope is upset by this as these Parishes are conservative and very traditional. He is trying to squash it.
Deck chairs on the Titanic - Christians move between denominations while the overall share of Christians in America continues to decline.
