I am curious about where you are getting your information about young people jumping out the windows to escape UCCan. There have not been very many in the church for a few decades to jump out of windows. The churches with young people serm to be holding on to them.

Piety is not a big thing in the UCCan, so hard to claim it has dead piety, whatever that is. There are lots of problems and deficiencies, but many are working diligently in many ways including spiritual development to serve better as followers of Jesus. Most of them are too focused on moving forward to worry about off target comments from the peanut gallery.Well, young people are jumping out the windows to escape what they perceived as the dead piety of UCCan and the UMC, my denomination.
By contrast, in a still expanding revival thousands of young lives are being transformed by unexpected ecstatic experiences 24/7 of the sweet loving presence of God in many universities, some of which are huge and elite. Local churches there will be thrilled to have new young adults with hearts on fire to serve God!
To its credit Ashbury is now considering what comes next. That's the question isn't it? Do these highly emotional events have any long-lasting effects?Other than gatherings of young people, what is being achieved?
