Adapt and Die: Liberal Churches Accept Everyone, Still Decline
From Millenial Evangelist (H/T Barbara Gauthier)
One of the hot takes of the 21st century as it relates to Christianity has been this, “The Church is dying because it won’t conform to culture. We’re going to keep losing our young people if we don’t change some things here.”
[…] Some Mainline traditions you may have heard of include the United Methodist Church, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Episcopal Church, andmany more. Typically, these are churches with “old school” worship practices, but “new school” doctrine, accepting a variety of lifestyles/theologies that have been rejected throughout Church history.
[…] For a long time, it’s been the same song. If the evangelical Church does not come to terms with same-sex marriage, or other such issues, it’s going to die because young people are leaving it.
What’s the point of giving yourself to a God whose standards and Word you don’t even care about, really?
There’s only one problem with that: it’s not true. Check out this graph from the General Social Survey depicting the denominational affiliation of Millennials:
