5 Years Later

We remember now five years later.

George Barna takes a look at the impact 9.11 had on spirituality and worship attendance in this article.

I remember the great surge in worship attendance in the church I was serving. And, I remember all the talk about what an opportunity the church had to be the church and help people to cope with this tragedy.

What happened? Not much, according to Barna. The upsurge in attendance and religious interest has dwindled. Attendance is back to pre-9.11 numbers. Persons are reading their Bibles and praying the same they were before the attacks.

Maybe the answer is not God bless America but America bless God!
