“'Stampede' may be an exaggerated word for the exodus out of the church in America, but no one can escape the reality. A date has been attached: 2070, the projected date when there will be more non-Christians than Christians in our nation. …

I want to take seriously the spirituality of those outside the church and outside the category of religious faith and belief."

~ Stephen Shoemaker
