ENDNOTES
1. The congregation at Central Synagogue recently chose to faithfully restore its synagogue in the aftermath of a tragic fireas a symbolic statement about their convictions as Jews.
2. One researcher, Andrew Greeley, says that the increase is because Evangelicals have had higher fertility rates over the last 100 years!
3. Here, I recognize the important task of maintaining historic treasures. But I also believe that liturgical formation should not be stymied by worship places built in the past.
