The data contained in the source report is much more interesting than the news article. Mainline denominations continue to plunge.

Interesting article. As pastor of a non-denominational church, I have to ask if this growth is occurring in the Bible-church non-denom (as ours is) or in the seeker-sensitive/charismatic churches only. My suspicion is that the more Bible-oriented non-denom are either not growing or growing at a slower rate.
