		<description>The funniest/scary thing is the comments posted by &quot;christians&quot; about this article on usa today&#039;s website. WOW! No wonder &quot;unChristians&quot; don&#039;t attend church.</description>

		<description>Mark, according to the article, USA Today got their numbers from Outreach. So, it&#039;s a bit confusing to me as to why the numbers would be completely different. They came from the same source.

		<description>Hi Tony

I just checked out the list on the OUTREACH website (http://outreachmagazine.com/docs/top100_2007_largest.pdf)

Have USA got their number&#039;s wrong?

Willow was 23,500 in 2007. They claim they were 20,700

Any thoughts&gt;</description>

		<description>the biggest number to me is the 32% who say they never attend church.  WOW!  I am excited that there are so many churches that are growing and have a renewed call to be a part of life change instead of political activity.  That number points out how much work is left and how incredibly important it is.

		<description>Interesting that most of the churches they benchmarked with were still growing even though the article says the trend is not growth.  Welcome to the Spin-zone.</description>

		<description>Yea, a less than 10% variation is really not a trend. Good grief we can drop 20-25% on a weekend. That&#039;s pretty normal. Megachurches are just a different animal. I mean, think about it, if the average church dropped 1500-2000 in attendance on a weekend...they&#039;d be closed.</description>
