Many. Some already have. I have two cousins who are ministers, and they've already seen consolidations. As operating budgets decline, staff are laid off and consolidated with neighboring churches, then the physical plant is not attended to and eventually a church must close its doors. The majority of Protestant churches in this country operate on a shoestring budget with fewer than 100 members each to support them. When large public gatherings are again the norm, many members will need to find themselves a new church to attend and congregation to join.

Like much of the news, it's just speculation.

Let's wait and see.
