Still More on Closed Churches

SWNID is determined to be market-sensitive. Gentle readers have demonstrated their interest with their comments. The biggest issue of 2005 is whether to have church services on Christmas. We'll keep this discussion going through New Year's Sunday at least.

Here's yet another story worth checking out, mostly because it indicates what the Campbellite Mother Church, Southeast Christian Church is doing. Per the Lexington Herald-Leader (motto: More than Just Coverage of UK Basketball), Southeast will "have one service on Christmas in the fellowship hall. Fewer than 1,000 people are expected to attend."

What currently interests SWNID is whether churches that are supplying resources for family worship at home on Christmas day will survey their congregations to see how many actually did the family worship. We predict (a) that such surveys will not be taken, and (b) that they would reveal an abysmally low rate of participation.

We invite gentle readers to comment, not that we need to, of course.
