Church bears some responsibility for membership decline   09/05/12 - 12:07am

Opinions vary as to how much, depending on who you ask, but most major religious surveys agree on the over-arching (and somewhat alarming) data that shows church attendance is in rapid decline. This trend is no respecter of denominations, as the mainline Christian church across the board continues to decrease in numbers.

I find this data alarming indeed, but not for reasons one might expect from a pastor.
