Of course overall numbers are down but there's a big difference between decline and empty. The church in the image I posted is in the east end and didn't look too empty.

Your own link proves my point [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Well i didnt mean literally empty, i mean like... when you see a dying species and the mating population isnt high enough to sustain the species... is more what i was meaning.

You might see this kind of attendance on holidays, say, on christmas but i highly doubt that a church gets this kind of attendance on a regular basis.

Having said that, im sure there are exceptions. For example, haitians are big on churches, so youll see those culture-specific churches still draw some crowds.

But broadly, i think its safe to say that any of the churches pretty much that youve pointed on google maps, pick any one out and ill take my digital camera there on a sunday and take a pic of what it looks when people are coming out and id bet a 50$ that its a small attendance.
