Leaving the Church

Paper Summary:

This short proposal examines some of the major longitudinal factors illustrating why it is that young people today are turning away from the church. The proposal aims to provide a cursory overview of the broad forces which have collectively contributed to the relative decline of the church and to the concomitant rise of secularism; in addition, the paper also reviews the social factors in recent decades that have driven the church from its former cultural pre-eminence.

From the Paper:

"Why Young People are leaving the Church Since the Age of Enlightenment, intellectuals and other observers have been anticipating the final demise of the Christian church in a Western culture that has become disquietingly secular. As will become apparent, the departure of young people from what was once society's seemingly irrefragable social institution is a process that has origins reaching well back into the past."
