Our church is filled with young children, and their chatter, giggles and cries can be a distraction during the most solemn parts of the service. But I have had occasional to supply preach in a couple of churches where there are no such distractions, and the silence is deafening. A church, like any other community without children is in a death spiral. And sadly, the average age of the congregations of many churches, in city centres in particular, are into the senior years. Who knew that a death rattle was no sound at all.
