I was thinking about this whole dead denominations thing a bit more and I think I can explain what's happening better. Younger people see God's work as more holistic than older generations. What I mean by that is they see the work of God in things like taking a friend out for coffee who is going through a rough time as giving to God, they see sponsoring a child through World Vision or Compassion as giving to God, they see personally giving money to missionaries (or through agencies like Gospel for Asia) as giving to God. But giving tithes on sunday morning? They don't see that as so sacred as the older generations do because they see giving as being a way the live not something they do only at church. Sure they might throw in a couple bucks here and there, but certainly not 'ten percent' (which is not really a biblical eccliessiological thing anyway).
This will certainly lead to denominational break downs within the next few decades.
