Declining church attendance is
partly because of basic economics and a Christian media-saturated world, which
has unfortunately communicated that the time and place for worship does not
really matter, according to author Skye Jethani.
In a Friday Signposts podcast interview with Russell Moore, president of the
Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention,
Skye Jethani, author of What's Wrong With Religion: 9 Things No One Taught You About
Faith, explained why he believes that amid the many conversations among
Christian leaders about declining church attendance, the economic factors are
being ignored. Moore engaged the author having seen a string of tweets Jethani
has posted outlining some of his thinking on the subject.
"Every time there has been an
adjustment in communication technologies it has deeply affected the
church," Jethani said, adding that another major adjustment is currently
underway with digital communications and the plethora of podcasts and Internet
resources tailored for Christians.
