The Church is abandoning its flock | Fr Giles Fraser, UnHerd

“Secularisation is indeed a catastrophe for the churches. But we
won’t outlast this period of history by being more business-like or
by adopting slicker models of evangelistic marketing. We won’t
be saved by panicky spread-sheet evangelists, Indeed, we must
be more of what we have been called to be – more thoughtful,
more prayerful, less fearful, more obedient to God’s call. We are
resurrection people after all. Institutional death should hold out
no terror for the faithful. And it will only be this lack of fear that
can make us attractive once again.”
