Cultural shifts:
In You Lost Me: Why Young
Christians Are Leaving Church… And Rethinking Faith(Baker Books), David
Kinnaman identifies three words which describe the social, technological and
spiritual changes young adults have undergone. These three words are ‘access’,
‘alienation’ and ‘authority’. Kinnaman says that unless the Church recognises
and embraces these cultural shifts then young adults are unlikely to engage with
the Church because “they can’t understand what we are
saying”.
