I'd like to pick up on something RD says in this piece:
(I am assuming that RD is talking about the UK here, correct me if I am wrong)
I'd like to know WHO these young people are. Which "faith community / communities" are we talking about
Are they UK born and bred or immigrant'
We are always being told, and the figures bear it out, that christianity is on the wane in the UK. So if these young people are christian, one would expect their influence to wane also
I am just wondering if this is another example of the "polarisation" that is happening. Where, if you "go to church" you are more likely to be evangie and/or conservative.
Or is it simply a case that the evangies are getting more shrill and strident'
:-))
