When I was a ministerial student, I did some empirical research on single people's experiences of church (which was published in the Baptist Ministers' Journal and can be found somewhere on line via this blog!). In that research I noted, from my literature review, that an almost identical set of conclusion had been arrived at decade earlier. So this today makes me wish the church would wake up and smell the coffee!

You are so right, Catriona. As a fellow single, I'm afraid that the issues raised in this article are sadly all too familiar to me.
