I don’t know what’s going to become of the Church. I only partly recognize it now. I was surprised in my reading when I came across a statistic about the many churches among the Amish. Apparently the ones with the strictest Ordnungs (rules) had the best retention rates.
“the strictest ... had the best retention rates”
Indeed. Why even make the effort to go to church for more worldliness? One could stay in and read the New York Times on Sunday.
