One suggested reason for smaller churches not being able to grow is because of generations of the same family attending and thus making it difficult, politically, for newcomers to join. It is good for family members to fly the coop (and their hometowns) when they reach adulthood -probably a very similar to the reason that God confused mankind's languages.

Literal, in that God confused their languages. Not a whole lotta details given besides that.

God told Noah to build an ark to the saving of his own house! Noah preached
and buillt that ark but evidently no one believe him but his own house. His own
family were the only ones saved too! There would have been room if they
had listened and believed Noah. I believe every home should be an ark for a
man's own house. The church my late father founded before any of us eleven
siblings married, is now where three generations of my own family worship to-
gether. A place prepared that where HE IS, they can be also! Where is HE!
IN HIS PEOPLE! The House of the LIVING GOD!
