Three weeks ago, I wrote about some of the challenges that are facing rural churches. It’s no secret that many are struggling to survive. Many more are on life support. God only knows how many of these churches will still be open five years from now.

Much like the local reaction to the Canada Day celebrations in Neepawa, Eoin Devereux finds himself conflicted on his opinion toward the lack of festivities. This week, he has written two separate editorials examining both sides of the argument he’s having with himself about it.
