Unchurching and unschooling
Mark Kenski
Cris directed me to this article at USA Today.
It's called "Charting the unchurched in America"
It has interesting parallels to unschooling, I think.
Especially the tone of disdain from the ministers
remarking on the droves going off and doing
their own thing. In places it was striking when
you replace the unchurching with unschooling
and see how strong the parallel is.
Perhaps these two demographic changes are
connected?

A nice state by state graphic, too - Nathan wanted to
see where "none of the above" (us) was in
each of the states so we made a game out of it and
he clicked his way across a little geography/religion
lesson.
By the way, I figured out how to send mail to the
group as myself (yipee!) and not I'm working on
not submitting neo-haiku format e-mails. Wish
me luck!
