Christians who are seeking another way to express their faith
But isn't it this very attitude of 'father knows best' that has turned people away from the Church? We are hearing all the time that church-going is on the decline in all our churches, Catholic and Protestant. We are hearing that religion is no longer a part of our everyday life, and that Ireland is the poorer for it.
And yet nothing seems to change. It feels as if we are all waiting, in a state of numbness or apathy, for the people at the top to do something. And of course, they can't. Much of the problem is that the sort of Christianity we are expected to go along with no longer fits what we know of the world and of human life.
