NewData source is more interesting than article

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.
