Some people identify their faith with group of people, usually family members, lone-time friends or ministers. One way to tell if someone has a person-focused faith is the way they respond once their faith-identifier abandons their faith or leaves a local church. If this is the case, then a person's faith will get severely rocked when their faith-anchor is cut away.
But how many Christians have a geo-focused faith?
What proportion of people's faith is based almost entirely upon their "home church" and little else.
I ask because I feel it explains one of the drop out points for emergent adults - They away from home.
For those who have a geographic faith, they'll have a narrow idea of church and a short dose of perseverance with new churches.
Unfortunately, when they are combined, they result in isolated Christians faith growing cold to the point of extinction.
