Ever since I saw this thread I started noticing more church signs that don’t list the denomination on them. Spotted one today so I looked up its website. Under the doctrine header they said theyre Wesleyan. Under the creeds they said they use the Apostles creed. The Nicene creed and some called The Definition of Chalcedon 451 AD.
I’ve never heard of that last one.

Many young people want a much more solemn service, and that's why traditional Catholicism (Latin Mass) and the Orthodox Church have experienced enormous growth in the last decade, although in total numbers they continue to lose members, but not to other denominations in my opinion, but unfortunately towards atheism and secularism.

It's safe to say that young people don't want this:
