It may surprise you to know that the least churched, and least religious demographic in the United States is not college-age kids, liberal women, or immigrants, but working class white men.
According to Barna they have the lowest rates of attendance at church... (1/3)
...faith identification, etc...
As part of my dissertation work, which is largely focused on reaching these folks for Christ, I'd love to talk to any men who fit this i.d., not so much to proselytize (though I obviously have an interest in that. 😉)... (2/3)
...but to ask some questions as to what the main reasons and/or stumbling blocks that exist.
If you know of someone who you think would be willing to talk briefly with me about this please feel free to send me a PM.
Appreciate it. (3/3)

A reminder of how young a nation we are in Gildersleeve writes in the year my grandma was born about CW veterans, "Twenty-five years hence, when the survivors will be curiosities, as were Revolutionary pensioners in my childhood..."
Basil points out in 1921 he knew Rev War vets.
Something Gildersleeve touches on in this essay is how many of the chief leaders & soldiers of the South were against Secession, even openly so during the War, yet gladly and willingly, "died upholding a right which was not a right to him" because of their understanding of duty.
