Did the churches have options?

There have been many times in history when churches (the people) needed to go underground, and they grew. "The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church," and so forth. But now all they've done is contribute to the steady loss of the "nones" who already believed they could worship at a concert or stay home and play with their computers. Like some of the businesses that were forced to close and scatter their employees, I think we'll see mass closings. Wealthy churches like UALC had options, and one would have been to graft in some backbone in Christians who have been losing ground for 30 years and caving to the culture.
