Sunset of the Church?? Some years ago, this was an active SIG with both pictures and discussion. Today, a picture now and again, discussion on different topics almost none. Churches are closing in America, Britain, Canada where over the next ten years, about 9000 will close, about a third of the total.
Here is a topic: What is wrong and what can we do about it.
I will make one comment and leave it at that {I will ‘unwatch’ not follow this discussion}. There is a
difference between “the church” and people who believe in the Bible. There is little difference between a modern ‘mainline church’, such as the ‘United Presbyterians’ or the ‘United Methodists’ and a modern ‘animal lodge’, such as ‘the Elks’ or ‘the Moose’. Fifty years ago, the word “Evangelical” was used to distinguish those who follow the Bible from Fundamentalists, such as the Southern Baptists {who are basically a political club}, then the Fundamentalists adopted the term for themselves.
