From: "Mark Hessey" 

Oh, oh - I didn't mean that they were past interest in organizations
generally. But rather that if they are "unchurched" in that age
group, that I think it is pretty likely that they've come to a decision
that they don't want/haven't felt a need for organizational
influence/direction on their personal religious beliefs.

That certainly doesn't mean you shouldn't try if increasing membership in
your church is an important value to you. However, a few "psst, have I
got a religion for you's" between homers at a little league game isn't
going to play very well :-)

organizations simply have to adjust.  Little League is an organization. So

IMO. |
