Is Adventism unique it it's struggle to gain/retain members or is it symptomatic of all churches?<br><br>Here in the UK we hear of so-called mega-churches in the USA, which really seem to be little more than denominations on their own - members seem to flock to certain mega churches due to the personality of the leader rather than any of the overarching beliefs. . . <br><br>My guess is that with Seventh-day Adventism one feels comfortable whether you are worshiping in Hanoi, Geneva, Harare or Iceland - you all read the same Sabbath School lesson each week, which seems to have a unique place in the SDA church.</p>GordonTue, 05 Feb 2008 10:37:00 -0000
