Back To Church Sunday

I don't think I owned up to it but I do confess I was a little skeptical about Back to Church Sunday. But I eat my thoughts following my reading of this article: Start The Week: Back To Church Sunday: The salient figure is here: "Research by the Diocese of Lichfield after last year’s Back to Church Sunday suggested that 6,000 people came back to church on that day and that, six months later, between 700 and 900 (12-15 per cent) had become regular members. About a further 3,000 are still in touch with their inviting churches and may have come at Christmas or to a social event."
I think I was skeptical because I underestimated in my own knee-jerk response how many people were church-leavers but not hostile leavers.
