Mid Century Revival and Deep Summer Reflections
The piece notes a 15 year rise in U S church membership, reaching 34 842 545 in 1955 per the Yearbook of American Churches. Editor Benson Landis attributes the revival to a shift toward a life centered in spirituality after World War II. It also contrasts deep summer leaves turning hard, green, and crackling like paper as seasons shift, with nature’s subtle changes and crickets amid late summer skies.
