Concession to individualism

Christmas in the West falls on Sunday this year, and pastors of large churches fear that parishioners will stay home on this “family holiday.” In 1994, when Christmas also fell on a Sunday, very few people came to the service. Meanwhile, the so-called megachurches can accommodate up to 8,000 people - it takes considerable effort to gather them. The consumer society seeks convenience in everything, critics of evangelicals are indignant, and is ready to neglect for the sake of it the central event in the life of Christians.
