It's been my experience that when looking for "the" thing that caused a social movement, or a sea change in the way institutions view things, people are so eager to find a single causative factor that they miss the point: most things change because they are ready to change, and rarely does the change come from a single event or action.
A recent press release from the Episcopal Church News Service, in the "Ecumenical News International" section, gives us a hint.
The article is headed: "England: Church seeks ambassador for sport".
It's worth reading. I'm not sure the Bishop of Sherwood has got the answer completely right yet, but when he says "A church building for most people is like going to Mars ... We have to go where the people are." he is spot on.
