@sinbach

In light of your podcast with @bethany when I stumbled on this I thought of you

This is pretty distressing reading and very blunt - "Men will be absent from church by 2028 at the current rate" and the departure of men is, according to statistics anyway, "speeding up"

It states Mentioned that men are increasingly not applying to be priests/vicars/ministers etc

Church attendance in the UK has dropped by 50% since 1950, and "has become a place by women for women"

Also, that two thirds of the UK Christian populations do not attend a church.........

Those few quotes made me re-read them several times!

@Berrybunchfamily @sinbach wow, this is super sad

@bethany @sinbach yep...some of those quotes are really upsetting

Especially that 2/3 of british Christians don't attend a church... We're currently part of that 2/3 while we continue to get past, well, lets just call them 'troubles

My passion has historically been to reach the lost in church...maybe I need to start thinking about the 2/3...especially since we're part of those numbers

@Berrybunchfamily @bethany @sinbach Have you considers a home meeting? Unchurched people are much more likely to come sit around your kitchen table and talk about God than to go into a church to listen to a preacher.
