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?

@jackrabbit10 So why do 1662 services help them? And they resent change.

An insurance policy then. Not a faith in the Living God.

@jackrabbit10 But these antiquated services were not around in their youth or twenties.Series Two was introduced in 1966, and no one hankered back to 1662.

The simple answer is they cling to an age that never was.
In their youth they never went to church, or had a clue what was actually happening there.
