Still going

You have probably heard that millenials, current young adults, have quit going to church in significant numbers. But many still do go to church and continue in Christian practice and belief. Why?

A new study seems to have found the most predictive factor:

"For millennials who grew up attending church, having a strong Christian faith and practice today is linked to the quality of their relationship with their parents."

The usual disclaimer still applies of course - millenials (like all humans) have free will and may make a different choice in spite of a good relationship with Christian parents.

If you're a parent, or simply know a teenager, do your best to build an engaging and positive relationship.
