Yeh I think there must have been an international ecumenical cross faith decision round about that time to chase the young people out.

I'm not sure it was a purely political thing DS. It was like all the churches looked at society in the 1960's and said - No thankyou! We're not getting involved in any of that.

Whereas, we were the citizens of the world coming into our own time, and we didn't really have any choice - except to engage with the world as it was.
