That’s a good question.  I would like to honestly know why a person does not have any interest in attending or associating in any way with organized religion….no matter what the flavor.  I would like for other bloggers to help me in finding out the, no doubt the many, reasons why so many people have no desire to attend church.  You can post your results on this article, you can cut and paste this to your blog, you can create your own survey, but please share your results with me.

 Why do this survey you ask?  Another good question.  I think that we, those in church, should care about what people are thinking and how all people perceive the church.  I think that the church must adapt to the needs of those people around them.  I think we can easily, at best, develop blindspots and at worst grow complacent and uncaring.

If you don’t attend church won’t you please share you honest reasons on this post?  If you do attend church and have a blog, would you please put a link on your blog to this post for the unchurched to share their thoughts with me?  Thanks!

Traditions are memory links chaining one generation to another.   For the last 26 years, on Christmas Eve, I gather my children around and read the Christmas classic, ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.   Hopefully, my children will pass this tradition to their children and their children’s children, etc.   Thus linking future generational memories with “old grandpa!”

Some other traditions are putting out cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for Santa’s reindeer.  Caroling, Christmas cookies, candlelight services, etc.  to just name a few others.  Do you have a special Christmas tradition?  A fond Christmas moment?  Why not share it here?  Thanks and Merry Christmas!
