					<description><![CDATA[I think comment is trenchant:  &quot;People no longer come to church out of habit, to be part of a club or because it is in any way expected of them. They are choosing to be there rather than choosing to be hundreds of other places. The church may be declining, but so is the polite Anglicanism with which many of us grew up. Our spiritual hunger is being laid bare.&quot;  Thank you for sharing your insights and experiences.]]></description>
