The decline of Christianity in the US - and in the West generally - recent decades seems to have slowed, if not leveled off. Indeed, there are signs it is slowly growing again, especially a amongst 18-24 year olds.

How important it is that those of us who are professing Christians are praying for God's mercy and kindness towards all people. It's also important that we are assured in our own faith and are in turn prepared to tell our story of faith.
