(Worthy News) – A nonprofit organization that works with churches nationwide to develop stronger families has released a study of churchgoers that suggests a collapse in marriage and resident fatherhood is fueling widespread loneliness and “the unraveling of Christianity” in the U.S.
Communio conducted a survey of 19,000 Sunday church attendees while they were attending services at 112 evangelical, Protestant and Roman Catholic churches. While it found that just 22% of regular churchgoers are lonely, the study noted “a substantial gap between married, cohabiting, and single Sunday churchgoers in feelings of loneliness.”
Single churchgoers were more than three times more likely to feel lonely. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
