Wave of church closings expected to reshape America
Original: A looming ‘tsunami’ of church closings is poised to remake America
CNN reports that a 'tsunami' of church closings is poised to remake America, as declining membership and attendance leave many congregations unable to maintain their buildings. The report suggests the closures could transform neighbourhoods and communities nationwide, with houses of worship sold, repurposed or demolished. The story has drawn attention for its stark framing of an accelerating decline in religious participation across the United States.
Why now: Ongoing national debate over declining religious attendance and what shrinking congregations mean for American communities.
