A new study shows America's churches are changing.

The national congregations study finds that churches are becoming more diverse.

Now, only 14 percent of churchgoers attend a church that is all white.

That's down from 20 percent in 1998, the last time the survey was conducted.

Still, many churches are more technically savvy these days, using websites and email to reach their members.

And church worship is becoming more informal, with more people dancing and raising their hands in praise
