I'm back from vacation and it feels great to have been away for a week - and not so good to come back to 90+ degree temperatures. Thanks to my law partner Ray Ramsay for holding down the fort in my absence.
Well, Oregon has slipped from the #2 un-churched state to #3, behind Washington and Vermont. Vermont?!! ( www.usatoday.com/life/2002/2002-03-07-no-religion.htm) How has the West Coast let this happen??!! (OK Washington, you did your part.) I would like to think it's because Oregon's churches have been doing a better job of evangelism and winning people to Christ, but I'm not sure that is the case. Rather, it seems like Vermont has decided to let it all hang out, especially Roman Catholics who showed a sharp drop from the last survey. Wine and brie are so much nicer to discuss than sin and grace. We are so, so European! Can the Muslims be far behind?
