The census figures are not good but are made worse by the fact the actual number of people who go to these churches is much much lower.

That is an interesting article.

The comments on the style of the priest was enlightening.

2 styles were compared

serious,reverent paying much attention to the sacredness, taking time to do the service

vs

warm, more personal, more people oriented - celebrating to get people to connect on a personal level

BOTH WERE EQUALLY EFFECTIVE IN MAKING PEOPLE WANT TO BELONG TO A PARISH!
