Clergy are concerned that congregations face an existential crisis. Specific issues occur in the context of concern about the future. Questions about technology or anti-racism or political polarization are also questions about survival. We do not use the term “existential” glibly. In-person groups, the form of association most common to older generations, have weakened over the past few decades, as Robert Putnam noted long ago in Bowling Alone. For younger generations especially, virtual (digital) association often take precedence over traditional forms.
