I brought this up at the table this a.m. and there was a request that I share with you what I had read.  Denver pastor Dave Terpstra wonders if more people are outgrowing the church's ability to nourish their faith.  You can find his original essay here and his follow-up here.  The comments to these posts make interesting reading too.

Pastor Terpstra is reacting to what he has read in George Barna's new book, Revolution (see review here) and to Janet Hagberg and Robert Guelich, The Critical Journey.

The questions raised are causing me to do some rethinking and potential revisioning.  My context also includes the previous post on The Status of the Church in the U.S. I would be interested to hear what my fellow "spiritually mature" believers have to say.
