It’s happening right now. The institutional church is fading. Even while many megachurches are on the rise, the church as an institution is fading.
The power and the presence are not reaching levels we desire. We’re not living up to 1st Century Church. Two thousand years of history to learn from, and we’re still on the cusp of the great transition. The medium is outdated and the world has come to recognize that “talking” about what’s wrong with society is old hat.
