		<title>Comment on A Balanced and Well Thought Out Critique of the &#8220;Mega Church&#8221; by David Gauthier</title>

		<description>One curiosity is this statistic:  the average attendance in churches across Amereca is 75. The actual attendance at at least half the curches in the country is under 100 people. And that is typically 40-80. Also that number remains consistent year after year with those churches with the excepion that the older the age of the congregation the higher the attrition rate is with the net result of steadily declining attendance. 

If the smaller church is indeed &quot;bringing people into faith&quot;, where are they going? Because it is not to that church that brought them in. On the other hand, many mega -churches continue to grow.</description>
