Conservative churches are growing, because we live in a world where people don't want to put in that kind of work for their faith or sacrifice anything to become a fuller, more connected Chrisitan. Answers...that's what everyone wants...and well, liberal churches rarely give answers....

That. . . or conservative churches promote study and adherence, while liberal church promote your personal relationship with Jesus, however you choose to define it.
