Liberal Mainline Churches Are Headed Towards Extinction
I'm reading about the mainline Presybterian convention. The Episcopal Church is having their convention now too.
Theological liberals can't give most people a sufficient reason to go to church instead of watching pre-pre-pre-game shows for the NFL. That is the main crux of their problem.
In an age where going to church isn't a cultural expectation or desire, most people who go actually want to. And most people who want to go actually believe in the faith.

I have been to churches who, after service is over, drop down the projection screen and show the big game to those in the pews.
It may not get them into church, but I guess it keeps them from constantly checking their watches and *sighing* at their wives.
