Why are churches full of old people stuck in their ways?

This is a dilemma for me. In the mid sixties there were few people attending church in their twenties. But there was a wide range of ages. The services moved on in the sixties with the middle aged Christian’s taking the lead.

So where have these old Christians locked in the past come from? Because they were not there in their youth?

If you go to a "happy clappy" church, you'll find there are people there of all ages.

@Matt85 Exactly my wife and I go to a church with tons of services and mostly young- it is a bible church but the lame stream media doesn't show it here.

@BritishFailedAesthetic I hope not in Watford though! And look carefully where your money goes.
