Every year, make that every Sunday, people leave church never to return. Not just traditional denominations either. People leave modern churches as well, ones that have phrases like 'spirit filled' or 'uplifting worship' attached to their website profiles.
It is impossible to generalize about the reasons. Not that people don't. Oodles of explanations and strategies are given elsewhere if you are interested in understanding the dechurched and how to rechurch them. We simply tell stories. This is a narrative site. Actually the Bible is a narrative book as well, but we dont say that to bolster our credibility.
You may come across tales here that you like. Well, that's expected. We all read sites that agree with us. We all like to hope our writing will 'challenge' someone or 'make them think'. But you and I know that life, let alone the internet, doesn't work like that. We associate with those who agree with us.
However, there is a chance that you may be disillusioned spiritually, or church challenged. If so, you never know, there might be something here that gels. To stroke our egos, please tell us if you find some tales funny. | Sample of contents. Click here to see a larger list | Power The nub of the dechurched phenomena.

Well, don't knock the Pastor, you hired him. | | |
