The Great Dechurching

[@RLBays]

I don't know if it's because I'm a Gen Xer who still remembers things like "godless" communism and Billy Graham, but this is a fascinating subject and sea change shift in American life given the cultural significance Christianity once held in this country. The drop off is dramatic - so much so that it's now the Christian rather than the atheist, who, if they announce their "label" in a public room, would see a sizable portion of the people in that room recoil in distrust.

Wondering about the quick shift of income vs cost of living on dechurching?

[@SeidellNorbel]

Good discussion. Thank you.

Isn’t leaving the Church leaving the faith?

[@ThomasCranmer1959]

Exactly! But what do you do when the church goes apostate and leaves the faith?

[@Apriluser]

@@ThomasCranmer1959 Yep. Hard place to be in.

Hello

[@ThomasCranmer1959]

I do not attend PCA churches because of revoice.

[@dgbx6]

What a petty reason.

[@ThomasCranmer1959]

@dgbx6 Petty? You mean because I reject openly gay people can be members an Evangelical church? There is no such thing as a "celibate" gay Christian. You are either a homosexual OR you have rejected the entire LGBTQIA+ ideology and sexual orientation excuse when you were born again by the supernatural intervention of the Holy Spirit. The PCA is liberal. I do not join liberal denominations.

Gospel Coalition is WOKE.

@@ThomasCranmer1959 woah, such a compelling case. Seems you don't have anything apart from complaining.

Orlando Grace is into pragmatic church growth. I lived in Orlando. I do not attend pragmatic churches.

[@dgbx6]

Who cares?

[@ThomasCranmer1959]

Tim Keller was LGBTQIA+.

[@FountainPenIs]

Can you prove it?

[@HearGodsWord]

Wrong

[@ThomasCranmer1959]

@HearGodsWord There is no one born gay or LGBTQIA+.

[@HearGodsWord]

@ThomasCranmer1959 we're all born in sin regardless of your opinion on that. It still doesn't show Tim Keller to be LGBTQIA+
