Bishop Victoria Matthews on the Decline in Church Attendance

A bishop who says it like it is.
The reason for a demise in church attendance is due to what else goes on every weekend and also the lure of power and financial advancement over the call to serve the living God and our neighbour.

  1. hmmmm...... I know churches that have tried to carve out another service in the week to get away from the "sunday crunch"...still nothing. So not sure that it is a "weekend thing".....not sure what it is......but we all need the time to stop everything, reflect, prayer, and community.....

  2. I am not sure that the "weekend" is the issue although it is the perfect time to stop everything, reflect pray and have fellowship. Churches have tried to carve out other avenues for this some with success and many without. I don't think it is a "weekend issue" although it attributes to the Sunday but not the failed attempts at Saturday evening or wednesday evening prayer and other things. I think it is the apathy that society has in all aspects and the i don't need anyone attitude that has alienated us from God and eachother
