Church Refugees: Sociologists reveal why people are DONE with church but not their faith

Theyâ€™re called The Dones.
After devoting a lifetime to their churches, theyâ€™re walking away. Why?

Sociologists Josh Packard and Ashleigh Hope reveal the results of a major study about the exodus from the American church.

And what theyâ€™ve discovered may surprise you...
-Church refugees arenâ€™t who youâ€™d expect. Among those scrambling for
the exits are the churchâ€™s staunchest supporters and leaders.
-Leaving the church doesnâ€™t mean abandoning the faith. Some who
are done with church report theyâ€™ve never felt spiritually stronger.
-The door still remains openâ€”a crack. Those whoâ€™ve left remain hungry
for community and the chance to serveâ€”and theyâ€™re finding both.

Sifting through hundreds of hours of in-depth interviews, Packard and Hope provide
illuminating insights into what has become a major shift in the American landscape.

If youâ€™re in the church, discover the major reasons your church may be in danger
of losing its strongest membersâ€”and what you can do to keep them.

If youâ€™re among those done with church, look for your story to be echoed here.
Youâ€™re not aloneâ€”and at last youâ€™re understood.
