What Really Silenced America's Sunday Night Church After 1973
"What really emptied Sunday evening church services across America? In Part 2 of our series on the decline of American Protestant church attendance, we uncover three overlooked forces that quietly ended a century-old tradition — without a single loss of faith.
From the 1973 and 1979 oil embargoes that made the second Sunday trip too costly for millions of families, to the rise of Sunday night television and the VCR that gave households a reason to stay home, to the quiet decisions congregations themselves made to consolidate two services into one — this documentary traces exactly why Sunday morning survived while Sunday evening disappeared almost everywhere.
If you grew up attending both a Sunday morning and a Sunday evening service, this video will explain what changed, when it changed, and why." from the video introduction
