She recently penned this piece for RNS, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.religionnews.com\/2018\/03\/08\/if-mormonism-becomes-liberal-and-progressive-wont-it-decline-even-more\/\">If Mormonism becomes liberal and progressive, won&#8217;t it decline even more?<\/a>&#8221; Spoiler alert: the answer is yes&#8230; and no, mostly. It&#8217;s complicated.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a taste:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Popular sociological theory has long argued that conservative religions that make high demands of their members will flourish, while progressive ones that maintain more porous boundaries will inevitably decline. &#8230;\u00a0More recent work has called this into question, driven by the reality that almost all religious traditions are now struggling \u2014 even conservative ones like evangelical Protestantism and Mormonism, which once seemed so reliably immune. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>If <em>[the sociological theory]\u00a0<\/em>could explain why liberal religions seemed to decline in the 1990s and beyond, we would see evidence that the exodus from liberal traditions such as mainline Protestantism was matched by a corresponding growth in conservative religions that was not already due to those religions\u2019 higher fertility \u2013 and the data don\u2019t show that.<\/p>\n<p>Religious decline is related to broader demographic patterns that are complex and ever-changing, from declining fertility and immigration to generational replacement. &#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hats off to Jana Reiss for a well-nuanced piece. She doesn&#8217;t simply dismiss the thesis that conservative religions grow, but looks at that dynamic in the context of larger and more important trends. I think she knows what she&#8217;s talking about.<\/p>\n<p>We all have a stake in this important question, whether we&#8217;re mainline Protestant or Catholic or Evangelical or Orthodox, or&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Go read the whole piece <a href=\"https:\/\/www.religionnews.com\/2018\/03\/08\/if-mormonism-becomes-liberal-and-progressive-wont-it-decline-even-more\/\">here<\/a>.
