...<b>IndyChristian:</b> thanks for the read and comment. <br /><br />thanks for bringing up a great point about continued growth. part of my perspective speaks from the UMC specifically, which, like a number of other denominational churches, is experiencing some decline. <br /><br />but my bigger point was wondering if our (the Church) focus on a specific demographic was hurting the others. any thoughts on that?<br /><br />thanks again for sharing!Matt Lipanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17528815536523518798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19077083.post-21166296370519094952011-10-06T06:53:08.200-04:002011-10-06T06:53:08.200-04:00Good questions!
Just one thought before conceding...Good questions!<br /><br />Just one thought before conceding to what people have popularized, ie, that the Church is in decline. Go review the stats for yourself, and what you'll find is that the American demographic indeed is changing toward a wider, multicultural global mix here in the U.S.... which of course brings along with it changes in our percentages per faith-category... But bottom line, evangelical GROWTH continues. Be encouraged!<br /><br />[See Barna.org and read the recent reports, carefully.]IndyChristianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055017538708472750noreply@blogger.com
