Church attendance, like age, is another thing it is okay to lie about
The polling numbers say that 40 percent of Americans attend church regularly, but those numbers lie. Digging a little deeper helps to reveal a more troubling aspect of the American psyche; like pealing away the layers of an onion, the reality of American church attendance reflects on our own perceptions of what we believe we should be doing.
I’m not discouraged by these numbers, I believe that the Church should realize it isn’t the place where people really want to be on Sundays. We can’t just expect a sign with a pithy quote or, as I fear most congregations believe, the mere presence of our buildings to be our main appeal to new visitors.
