This is indeed an interesting topic. I hear many say how godless our generation is, but then I think, well who raised this godless seed?
Living in Princeton NJ for the last six years, you would think from the rich reformed heritage of that region of our nation, that there would be confessional churches throughout. In reality it is quite the opposite. Liberalism is rampant and confessional churches are few and far between. Many of the confessional churches that are in the area are liberal in comparison to many outside of the North East. At my former PCA church in Princeton, right before we moved, we had a couple join the congregation who just relocated from Texas. In Texas they attended a PCUSA church, but made the statement that this new PCA church they now go to in Princeton is noticeably more liberal than their former PCUSA. That is quite telling of that entire metropolitan area between Philadelphia through New York City and up through Boston. I was just talking with a confessional friend who is in the Boston area. He attends an independent, non-denominational church because there are no confessional churches close to him. Considering the rich heritage from Philly to Princeton to Connecticut and Boston, that is truly sad.
