"This church has changed so much in the last two years, I don't even feel at home here anymore. If it weren't that I've lived my whole life here, I'd quit! I don't even know half the people in worship, it seems! I know it's important for a church to take in new members, but I don't have anything in common with half of these people. I feel so lost!" The middle-aged man who was speaking got solid agreement from his listeners standing in the church narthex.
