Why?

Why have so many people left the Church?

There are a number of factors:

Firstly, the Orthodox interpretation of Christianity no longer makes sense to an educated public.

Secondly, Satanism in rock music, entertainment, and sports works actively to destroy the Church.

Thirdly, they are preaching the wrong things.

Finally, those in the Church do not practise what they preach.

The child sexual abuse scandals were just the last straw.

All of these factors combine to see our churches empty.

But there can be no revival until the authorities in the Churches address these factors.
