Most churchgoers want their pastor to address the tough issues

(SRN NEWS) – A poll by LifeWay Research reveals that 80% of Protestants think a clergyman must address hot button social issues or he’s not doing his job.

LifeWay spokesman Scott McConnell says “As American culture increasingly includes fewer overtly Christian elements and more non-Christian ideas, churchgoers are hungry to know what the Bible says about life’s issues.” 

The survey also finds that a lot of pastors ARE preaching about current events.
