I said a few weeks ago that we would have some comment on a new study released on why Canadian youth are leaving the Church. The study, “Hemorrhaging Faith,” was sponsored by several different groups, including the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada. This trend seems to be the subject of a growing number of discussions among church leaders in the past few years. This study is apparently the first one providing a useful amount of Canadian data and analysis.

Many times I have heard it said that persecution can be very important for building the Church. “The Church is built on the blood of the martyrs,” people will say. Sometimes I think this view is held as an attempt to find something good in the growing hostility North American Christians are facing in our society. Hopefully God will use this persecution and misery to strengthen the Church and to fuel evangelism, people will say. I used to say this too.  Read more...
