Story number 5 for 13 Nov 2001

(USA)–And finally, Religion Today reports Christians don’t act that much differently than non-Christians in the United States. That’s the unfortunate discovery of a survey conducted by researcher George Barna. Barna believes churches have failed in discipleship and that’s evident by the lack of participation in worship, evangelism, stewardship, service and personal witness to the world. Barna says churches need to do something deeper that helps people understand what it means to be a Christian in the 21st century.
