...funny how the Wrath of God looked a lot like a willow switch....

We kids made arrows from river willow. Could've lost an eye!

I heard on the radio today that congregational populations of churches is still going down. Maybe people are discovering that they don't have to "belong" to be faithful. Or maybe we're all just becoming more evil. Bwaaahahahahahahahahaaa :evil1:

What's the percentage? Was 17% attendance.

Maybe if they'd learn that making people feel bad about themselves isn't a great sales pitch any more....

Of radio listeners or church goers? CBC has better than a million regular listeners. I haven't a clue about church.

The Head of the Anglican Church is the Queen/King of England. Born ito that position, whlie a Pope, any Pope is ELECTED.

Did His Holyness consider the futility of his call?

It's a break-away faction of Anglican Church.

Could it be that blind adherence to archaic rules no longer make sense?

belief and attendance in Canada may not be as "bad" as "non Christians" would have us believe.

The State of the Canadian Church -- Part I: A Nation of Believers?

I don't know.... It's kind of disheartening to see a church with a realtor's sign in the yard. I know where you can get an old stone church. Sudbury was a boomtown for quite a few years, but the Church still had to merge parishes. The kids weren't buying.

And yet they have built a couple of big churches in Calgary in the last few years

Do any of these polls take into consideration religions other than Christianity? Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, Sikhs or traditional Amerindians attending sweat lodges? I think you will find that the numbers of atheists are low also because the line between agnostic and atheism is blurred in most people's mind. You will also find that there are more and more people with no affiliation to any religion who still have a spiritual outlook. Some people just don't need the political and social structures of religion to believe.
