I recently visited Universal Studios Orlando and while I had a good time and enjoyed my experience, there was something missing. There was something, intangible that I just couldn’t put my finger on it. Until the drive home, and I passed a very familiar landmark… and I immediately realized what Universal was lacking.
I have very mixed emotions after reading Quitting Church by Julia Duin. On one hand, she provides a very damning indictment about the state of most modern-day churches. Most churches are poorly led, overtly self-centered, and spiritually immature.
But on the other hand, she also laments many of the day to day struggles of the average churchgoer…and most of their “problems” are more “symptoms” of our society rather than deep spiritual deficiencies.
