Fascinating survey results:
2 in 5 Churches Will Adjust Activities for Super Bowl Sunday
“Churches are faced with a choice: Do we want to compete with the game, incorporate it somehow, or ignore it? There’s no consensus answer among Protestant pastors.”
(Scott McConnell, Lifeway Research)
Catch this:
Pastors in the Northeast (53%) and Midwest (51%) are less likely to continue normal Sunday night services than those in the South (65%). Those in the Northeast (18%) are also twice as likely to say they plan to adjust Sunday night activities in other ways than pastors in the South (9%).
The majority of Church of Christ (78%), Baptist (65%), and Pentecostal (65%) pastors say they will have regular activities. Less than half of Lutheran (41%) and Methodist (34%) pastors say the same.
So many more interesting stats here:
We'll be at home this year. Rooting for anyone but the Patriots.
Out for now.......
