How do we understand this?
A recent survey indicated that population of church membership in US has slightly increased by just less than 1%.
Doug Pagitt in his blog understands this as it's "not as bad as we suggest." I would rather ask 2 questions:
1. Is 1% an acceptable growth rate?
2. If the overall population of Christian has increased, why has the Christian influence decreased? I do not agree with Pagitt that "Christianity has never had more influence in the world."
What do you think?
