Driving to Isolation: Why Churches in American Struggle to Answer the Loneliness Epidemic

"The biggest enemy of connection, inside and outside the church, is not the Internet, or politics, or lack of opportunities to gather, give, and grow. That title belongs to one uniquely Western cultural force, one that we’re so accustomed to swimming in that we’ve forgotten we’re even in it: car-dependent sprawl."

@benfulton Heh. The church I grew up going to used to have some houses next door to the church that they owned and would let poor people stay in for free while they were putting their lives back together.

A few years ago they knocked down these houses to expand the church’s parking lot… 🤦
