Mix and match
Christian Century, Jan 24, 2006
> MIX AND MATCH: A growing number of people are attending more than one church in a given week or month. This is especially true of young people: they may go with their family to church, then also attend the services--or youth group--of another church that seems to click more with them. Christian Smith, director of the National Study of Youth and Religion, says that many parents are supportive of their youth looking for an authentic relationship to faith, and that "if you don't choose it, it's not authentic for you." But critics say that this is one more example of a consumerist approach to religion and that it is more difficult for these people to enter into a deep relationship with a church (New York Times, December 30).
