"Losing Faith?" article in the Times Free Press Sun. 8/15 (front page section F)

Anybody catch this article and have any thoughts? Very much lines up with what we've been hearing at the Net for a year and a half!  Interesting stuff.

Didn't see it, but would be interested in what they said....
It was weird...I couldn't find it on the computer/website at all. I finally go off my lazy butt and walked out to get my newspaper. :) It was a good article. Sad though. I think the worst part for me was this sentence "Every day the church is becoming more and more like the world it allegedly seeks to change."
Im always asking the teens, why would the unchurched want to be more like you?! According to this article I sure wouldn't want in. The fact that there is "no measurable difference in the moral behavior of churchgoers and the rest of American society" is extremely sad to me. That just shows that we have a lot of work ahead of us. I think we are do for a radical change. American may be be ready for it but they need it.
I looked online so I could provide a link for the discussion, but alas was not able to find the article online either! Thanks for responding...that's a great dialogue to keep going with the teens. It's pretty sobering to be sure.
Actually....that gives me a great idea for Friday's group. I hadn't even thought about it before, but I think this article will stem our lesson! Im excited to put the message together now! :)
