LICC's latest magazine carries the results of a survey carried out at Spring Harvest about fatigue and the church:

"Given these findings, it’s perhaps not surprising that the majority of respondents (55% - see Fig 1) identified fatigue and time pressures as the issues they struggle with to the detriment of their personal spiritual lives.

True, further research might reveal that these are symptoms of deeper, more complex issues, but that shouldn’t detract from the reality that these are what people perceive to be barriers to their spiritual development."
