Many Secular "Churches," Once Part of a Growing Movement, Are Struggling

[no_hypocrisy]

1. Religious and secular organizations are "struggling".

First, the meetings are usually on Sundays, in the morning. With over-scheduled work and recreation, Sundays are the only time to stay home and be independent. Then there's going to the meetings where the morality of many are challenged. A lot of folks don't want to be lectured or to feel deficient. Then there's tithing or contribution. A lot of people just don't like the idea of donation where you give for the sake of giving, not a purchase or a quid pro quo.

I belong to Ethical Culture and I never miss a Sunday. We're still attracting new members, esp. young families.
