We are naturally social creatures, born with a natural need for human fellowship and friendship. Over the years I have met numerous singles who were once active in a church in the past but will not attend church now, not because of a sinful lifestyle, but because they know from experience and observation that being an unmarried Christian often means living as an outcast. It is ironic that in so many churches the social needs of children, teenagers who live with their families, and married couples are readily recognised and addressed, while oftentimes the solo adults are left out (often conspicuously). All too often those who do recognise the social needs of solo adults insist on segregating the solo adults. It makes one stop and wonder: Why?
