The Great Dechurching: Understanding the Exodus from Churches
The chapter explores the trend of de-churching with a focus on why people are leaving churches, categorizing individuals into casually de-churched and de-church casualties. It delves into the development of profiles of de-churched individuals through data analysis and shares personal stories of faith journeys in different church settings. The discussion touches on the impact of historical events, the rise of the internet, religious and political polarization, and the influence of the Trump era and COVID on church attendance patterns.
