It also means I take what to others is a very long term view of the state of affairs. How many of theses churches will be around in 2025 in their present form if at all?

Hard to say. Even good churches change get into trouble and die. I marvel at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London…It’s been on the same track since John Gill was pastor (New Park Street Chapel originally). I had heard that Peter Masters did a survey of churches in England that were more than 150 years old and only found 13 that had not changed…what they had in common was a plurality of Elders and Calvinistic theology.
