I came across this excellent article by the Barna Group which is a re-cap of the book George Barna wrote "Revolution", as well as other books about organic church. He states that around 20 million people who he calls "revolutionaries" have left organized religion and that this movement is rapidly growing. He outlines the reasons for leaving, and likens this movement to a spiritual renissance. Have any of you read this book? I'd love to hear comments regarding it...and I plan to pick up a copy soon!

This is one of the books that Brian brought over, so feel free to drop by.
ReplyDeleteForgive me if you noticed it already but that article is 5 years old. I am sure the numbers are even greater today. Dated or not, it is a good read, if I recall it gave me reassurance that I was not crazy or in totally disobedience.
ReplyDeleteYep, noticed it Louise. :) I would love to know what the numbers are now, I'm sure much higher!
