Why millennials are leaving the church

"I talk about how the evangelical obsession with sex can make Christian living seem like little more than sticking to a list of rules, and how millennials long for faith communities in which they are safe asking tough questions and wrestling with doubt.
I point to research that shows young evangelicals often feel they have to choose between their intellectual integrity and their faith, between science and Christianity, between compassion and holiness."


That is a quote from an article by Rachel Held Evans, on CNN's Belief Net about why, as the title suggests, Millennials leave the church. I think that the reasons she gives are reasons why those in other generation groups are also leaving the church.  To read the complete article and see the additional reasons for this exodus go to: http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2013/07/27/why-millennials-are-leaving-the-church/
When I saw an interview about this question on the Sunday morning version of New Day on CNN I said to the television screen, "Try the Episcopal Church, we have already wrestled with these problems."

A topic that is related to these questions is the topic of the Emerging or Emergent Church. I hope to post an article or information about that in the future.
