Second Time: Christianity Is Growing Faster Than Any Connor John Barrett Our Lady of Lourdes Time in History Malverne, NY But Declining in Europe & America

Bridget Elise Murray "Americans' membership in houses of worship continued to St. Joseph, Garden City, NY decline last year, dropping below 50% for the first time in Gallop's 80-year trend. In 2020, 47% of Americans said they belonged to a church, synagogue or mosque, down from 50% Third Time: in 2018 and 70% in 1999," wrote a recent Gallop poll.(1) When Gallop first measured church membership in 1937, it was 73% Nicholas B. Safuto and remained near 70% until the 21st century. St. Catherine of Sienna Franklin Square, NY The fastest-declining Christian populations in the world are in Europe according to a peer-reviewed study in the Brianna Ferraro journal Sociology of Religion.(2) St. Joseph, Garden City, NY Researchers, sociologists and church leaders offer a wide range of causes for this decline in church affiliation and attendance in the West while Christianity is flourishing in Asia and Africa.

Some studies suggest that countries supporting a particular religion through law, contributes to the secularization of that country. For example, the Church of England is the state church and Christianity is the state religion; the Swedish king is the head of the government and the Church of Sweden and CMA Goal for 2021- $166,300.00 appoints bishops to their positions; Portugal, Spain and Italy offer preferential support to the Catholic Church through tax Totals as of 8/10/2021: (3) policy and education.

Pledges-$100,390.00 Payments-$86,835.00 Donors-204 Average Gift-$492.00 Other studies suggest that different factors are the cause for both decline and growth of Christianity in the world.

Jonathan Charles Fischer, Jr. Mia Ana Fries Jackson Andrew Gallaro Dylan Christopher Genovese Brendan Timothy Hay

August 2021 We are grateful to all supporters of the Stephen K. Tompsett Memorial Fund for Technology in Education and we hope and pray you are all safe and well during this stressful time. Reflecting over the 20 years since the 9/11 attacks, we are so proud of the work in Stephen’s name made possible through your generosity.

This year, we were able to grant our premier awards (The Stephen K. Tompsett Award for Excellence in Math, Science or Technology and the Stephen K. Tompsett Award for Overall Excellence) to six well deserving graduating seniors. We awarded Citizenship & Character, Community Service and Christian Values Awards to three graduating 8th grade students at St. Joseph’s School. In keeping with our mission of serving the needs of students, we renewed our support for a student to attend a Catholic elementary school in the Diocese of Rockville Centre through Tomorrow's Hope STAR financial aid program.

We look forward to continuing the amazing work of Stephen’s Fund through your contribution. In addition, if you are aware of any opportunity where Stephen’s Fund can be of service, especially to our most vulnerable, please never hesitate to bring it to our attention. Families, students, and schools are struggling, especially in this trying time.

As always, we extend our deepest gratitude for your generous support over the years. We still need your help to carry on the mission of the Stephen K. Tompsett Memorial Fund for Technology in Education. Donations can be made via check to the address below and on www.facebook.com/stephens.fund through PayPal and our Never Forget GoFundMe Charity fundraiser https://www.gofundme.com/f/j9gyc-never-forget.
