Americans Embrace Alternatives to a Conventional Church Experience

The Barna Groups reports (2.18.2008):

For decades, American Christians, who comprise more than four of our every five adults, assumed they had one legitimate way to practice their faith: through involvement in a conventional church. But new research shows that this mind set is no longer prevalent in the U.S. The latest Barna study shows that a majority of adults now believe that there are various biblically legitimate alternatives to participation in a conventional church . . .

S. Michael Craven of the Center for Christ and Culture comments on the study: They Love Jesus; They Don’t Like the Church.
