It is said that somewhere between 6,000 & 10,000 Christian churches are
closing every year. There is no escaping the truth that the institutional
church is declining… rapidly, & many are asking, “What does it mean to be a
Christian today?”
Last November I had the opportunity to join a group of others in the House
of Jacob Synagogue where my friend Rev. Ray Matheson & Rabbi Yisroel Millar
debated the question, ‘Is There A Future For Judaism & Christianity in
Canada?’ The two of them presented some great arguments both for & against
institutional survival. Whether you choose one polarity over the other, we
are all going to have to answer how humanity’s spirituality will be
practiced in future; institutionally or otherwise.
