The slow exit: Do most who quit church drop out slowly rather than in response to a crisis event?

“When I talk about the majority of dechurching stories being a story of slowly rolling down a slope…. I’m also thinking about specific choices that churchgoers will make that announce to everyone in their family and friendship groups that church is actually not that important.” - Mere Orthodoxy

Discussion

When we no longer make a point of setting aside time for church, we are in trouble. Youth sports are a case in point (emphasized in this article), but so can be a cabin in the woods or about any interest.

Good read.
