Partly with patterns of living people attend less often and less consistently but are still part of the community.

But also let's be honest, our communities are elderly and dying. https://twitter.com/canonjpemberton/status/1316692834481831937

Tbh it merely increases the need to engage online and elsewhere, and to be clear and bold about what is special about Christian Life.

What does the Church offer that is unique or at least rare?

1) Real, multi-generational community from birth to death.
2) That lasts bcos it's based on a profound shared purpose and meaning in God.
3) And seeks to transform the World until "sorrow and suffering are no more".

The Christian Church is the most diverse community in the world today, and the most influential in its history, because for all our differences we are united by Jesus Christ, the only leader truly worth following.

Christian faith is both personal and cosmic, practical and intellectual, individual and communal.

It speak to a single person's heart, and describes the purpose of the whole universe. It offers meaning to intellectuals and ordinary folk, the poor and rich, the weak and powerful

We should take seriously A) getting Christian teaching out to people by every means - TV, Radio, Social Media, Online, and in Person.

And B) ensuring our Communities are real. No Christian should be homeless or going hungry, in hospital and alone, or just lonely.
