WHY have church congregations diminished throughout the last decade?
If the figure of seven per cent is correct, why does the remainder of the population stay away?
Perhaps for the same reason I have decided to. Recently I was invited to join a course at a church in Worcester.
I was offered transport, excellent food, a friendly atmosphere and the chance of being a born-again Christian.
But in my case the course has failed. I look around the congregation and see how they live. Big houses, fast cars, well paid jobs, jewellery and an excellent wardrobe of clothes.
Do any of these people understand the word sacrifice?
