I don’t know that attendance has changed all that much post Covid. There are a couple of families who regularly attended who do not (but whether that’s due to Covid or other things I don’t know). We had a LOT of new people move into the ward. Some lost their jobs and moved in with family. Some were leaving states with political climates they weren’t comfortable in. Some just wanted to come back to “Zion” ( this is southeastern Idaho I’m talking about by the way). In our ward, it’s pretty much business as usual. As for politics, there are plenty of arch conservatives in my ward but frankly few political issues get raised in our church meetings. I’m not sure why that is. It may have to do with one elderly gentleman whose comments are constantly punctuated with words like “Constitution” and “liberty” and “freedom.” He comes across as kind of a nut (though one on one he’s actually a very nice guy). I think this has made those with similar views sensitive to how they might sound in a church meeting. I feel for those whose wards have gone “right wing” in the wake of the political and “pandemical” things that have happened (in the USA) but thus far our ward has dodged that particular problem. I hope it remains that way.
