In an article
entitled "Evangelical Christian Leaders Fear Teen Believers Abandoning
their Faith", Laurie Goodstein writes,
"Despite their packed mega
churches, their political clout, and increasing visibility on the
national stage, evangelical Christian leaders are warning one another
that their teenagers are abandoning the faith in droves.
"If current
trends continue only 4 percent of teenagers will be Bible-believing
Christians as adults. While some critics say that the statistics are
grossly exaggerated, there is widespread consensus among evangelical
leaders that they risk losing their teenagers."
