Il suicidio del Protestantesimo

Fulvio Ferrario, a professor of systematic theology at the Facoltà valdese di Teologia di Roma, argues that declining worship participation in Protestant churches indicates a process of self-secularization. Writing in the journal Confronti, Ferrario suggests that the challenge for these churches is to rediscover the centrality of the Word within their own communities rather than simply trying to speak to society.

Ferrario uses data from Germany to illustrate this trend. He describes the phenomenon as a significant development occurring alongside the broader process of scristianizzazione europea.
