The document discusses trends in UK demographics and society that are impacting religion and the church. It notes that the UK population is growing older and more ethnically diverse due to immigration. It also discusses declining marriage rates, rising divorce, and more children being born outside of marriage. The church is experiencing declining attendance and membership as the culture changes and becomes more secular. Younger generations are less religiously affiliated. The church needs to adapt to stay relevant in this changing environment.

Shifting Stats: Shaking the Church. World Vision Canada's 2014 Church Leaders...WVCNCE
Gain a bird’s-eye view of Canada’s new cultural context and a different lens through which to re-frame the Gospel.
In spring 2014, more than 800 church leaders in 10 Canadian cities participated in the church leaders forum: "Shifting Stats: Shaking the Church."
Using the latest Canadian statistics and church research, Dr. Don Moore, World Vision’s National Church Ambassador, painted the picture of our new cultural and religious landscape. Bruxy Cavey, author and Teaching Pastor at The Meeting House, then challenged our thinking on how to not only present but also live out the Gospel given these new realities.
Since 2007, World Vision Canada has offered these half-day church leader events to serve the local church. We strive to offer relevant ministry topics and host a space for honest conversation and collaboration among local leaders.

Church Colleges face an uncertain future as they strive to maintain their identities while adapting to massive cultural religious changes.
One option is to completely jettison any sense of institutional religious identity and have no theological identity. Another is to develop an exclusive community that seeks uniformity through doctrinal statements and student conduct codes.
Neither of these two options is acceptable for Lutheran Colleges. Within our theological tradition we have the resources to construct a theological identity that is both grounded in a particular tradition yet open to all.
This presentation is a diagnostic case study of Wartburg College which is affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. All opinions expressed are those of the author and not necessarily reflective of Wartburg College.
