UCT 030: What's Up with Church Decline?

It doesn't take a statistician or sociologist to figure out that the institutions of Christianity are on the decline in the Western world. Falling numbers, decreasing cultural relevance, and lessening political voice all paint a picture of a religion in decline. More and more people are leaving organized religion, and even casual knowledge of the Bible is uncommon.

So how do we interpret this as Christians? Is it all doom and gloom, or is there an opportunity to seize the cultural moment? If the early Church could succeed, against all odds, without any of the advantages we have today, what must we do? Do we isolate ourselves, accommodate the world around us, or choose a new way?
