| Summary: | This article discusses the implications of the emergence and growth of the non-denominational church and the concurrent development of mega-churches in mainline denominations. Is there a future for the mainline church? Why has it declined in the last fifty years while non-denominational churches have grown?

The answer is found both in a theological understanding of the church and in an examinination of the cultural and technological developments of the last half of the twentieth century |
