American Dream, Church Edition
We all know the institutional Christian church in America, in every major form, denomination, faction, etc. is statistically plateaued or declining in raw number of attenders. This a national statistic with certain regional / stylistic expceptions, but is most directly felt in places like the greater Seattle area (wherest I bloggeth from). If you need the stats to know this for sure or disagree with that basic assertion, this blog will frustrate and anger you. Stop reading now – for your own sake. We just don’t have time to prove to you that the fleet is sinking. It is. If your particular boat is doing a little better – or a lot better – be happy and enjoy it.

I am starting a season of posting. I am going to attempt to post daily here for the next sixty days. I haven’t done so to date because I am always wanting everything to be polished and correct and defensible. This won’t be. I’m just going to lay it all out there. I have also hooked this up to my Facebook profile in hopes someone might actually read it. If you do, great – comment – argue – tell me I’m a moron. If you don’t, well, you’re not reading this so I don’t know why we are wasting everyone else’s time talking to you. Cause that’s just silly.
