born again
Dear born and anieo, thanks for putting me on to the page. most chilling story. As for the Protestant Church closing down, you can find the story in December 2004, The Southern Cross. This applies to the Anglican Church which leadrs say will scarcely last another 10 to 20 years and they can do nothing about its demise. The demise of the Uniting Church is so far gone that it is hardly a story. As for the smaller Protestant denominations they can hardly be expected to survive when Christianity ceases to be a major Religion.
Of course no doubt some individual Christians there will survive, but I am refering to Christianity as a major Church - or even as a minor one. Perhaps Islam will become the major Religion of Australia?
I think this failure is due to Christains thinking of their faith as a purely individual matter so they have no interest in major organizations as have the Moslems. Keith
