Alarm as Church Attendance in Wales Slumps
The Archbishop of Wales has urged the Church in Wales to find new ways to bring the gospel message to the people as a new report shows a dramatic slump in church attendance in Wales.
New figures out Thursday revealed that church attendances in Wales have slumped by almost a fifth in just five years, reports the Western Mail.
According to the latest estimates, fewer than 180,000 people in Wales regularly attended church last year compared with 218,500 in 2000.
And in just five years the percentage of regular churchgoers in all the chapels and churches across Wales has seen a fall from 7.4 per cent to just over 6 per cent of the population.
