Disruptive church trends of 2018

My parish church doubled in size over a 10 year period by not changing - by having mass every day at the scheduled times by reading holy scripture by saying the liturgy of the Eucharist by having communion. No fancy pop songs and pop groups no special youth oriented programs. Just reverent worship and sound teaching and stability.

I sometimes wonder how many of the youth that the churches are so desperately chasing would prefer something that is bigger than them. Typically when older folks try and be trendy to attract the youth the end result is better described as "sad" than "trendy" and even "sad" is sometimes being more than a little charitable.

Maybe it's easier to respect an institution that doesn't endlessly change because it chases every passing fad and denies its own identity in order to follow the latest guidance on how to get young people to come along.
