Question: Will efforts like these succeed in attracting Millennials and Gen-Zs to Christianity?
#1
Yes; sociological trends show that secularism is in decline and young people are looking for meaning in life. We're on the verge of a second Great Awakening.

I'm looking forward to what BRTD has to say about this.
Actually I really can't put it any better than this:
These are not the types of churches that young people go to.

But actually the names of churches that do attract young people tend to be more along the lines of not having "church" in the name at all, much less "Saint" and sound more like a night club or something. Or have the name be just some one word succinct thing like "Fabric" or "Tides" or "Mosaic" and leave it at that.

On a side note it recently hit me that while they definitely like her, the kids at my church probably don't consider my church's youth director "cool" because a 33-year old woman who listens to emo and hardcore to them is...basically their parents.

These are not the types of churches that young people go to.

Yes, in the sense that they are much less likely to go to Church of England churches of their own accord.

Anyway, I have nothing good to say about this, and the Church of England's decline in membership is deserved given their decline in many other areas.
The Church of England's big problem is it sounds like it tried to he the equivalent of Kyrsten Sinema in regards to all theological and political issues and thus ends up pleasing absolutely no one.
