It’s an old story. Conservative, strict churches are growing, and liberal, secular churches are
shrinking. According to sociologist
Rodney Stark, it’s always been like this.
But it doesn’t hurt to get a second opinion. So
David Shiflett
has written a book about it:
Exodus: Why Americans are Fleeing Liberal Churches for Conservative Christianity.
People want meaning, purpose, and connection to something bigger than themselves. They get it from
a life and from a faith that makes demands upon them.
