Yes both mainline and even local community non-denominational churches are suffering a decline in popularity and participation. I believe it is a short-sighted vision on the part of many religious leaders and preachers. Unless a strong spiritual spark envelops both our churches and their leadership, we will continue to attract fewer and fewer congregants. We must find a way to attract followers without being so judgmental or doctrinaire. People are looking for healing, acceptance, joy and good news, not a scolding or diatribe against "sinners."
