Skye Jethani muses about the development of modern cruise ships from ocean liners and how that change can be identified in the life of some contemporary churches which have become destinations where rather than “viewing the church as simply a means to an end (connecting people with God), they made the church an end in itself. The logic was simple: if the masses did not feel the need to connect with God then perhaps another “felt need” could draw them into the church: the need for community, or entertainment, help with their kids or marriage.”
His preliminary observation is that the growth of the kingdom is being consolidated rather than expanded in the USA.
He’s going to expand further on this observation in a future email.
My observation is that the trend is moving back to more smaller groupings (church plants and campuses) rather than fewer larger churches.
