#1 Notice that the national Episcopal "Church" is more concerned with the property than with the people in it.

THis is a "Church" which approved the homosexual Bishop who continues by his own admission to commit homosexual acts - which are sins per orthodox Christian theology.

The Presbyterian Church in the US is rotting from the head down. Congregations are leaving it for the African convocation, or else leaving it completely due to the liturgical abuses, the idiot theological gyrtions fo liberal heterodox bishops, and the leftward swing and politicization of the senior Biships.

Within a decade, at this pace, the Presbyterian Church in the US will cease to exist as any kind of meaningful organization.

Good riddance.

#2 There are two Presbyterian Churches in the U.S., and have been for a decade or two. One as viciously drunk on so-called Liberal theology as the Church of England, the other rededicated to original Presbyterian ways. There will be more of this in the years to come -- the post-Baby Boom generations are rebelling by becoming more conservative.

#3 There are a few of us "baby-boomers" who have rebelled against both the politicization of theology and the "acceptance" of sinful behavior as "normal". It's more that the Church has left the people, who continue to adhere to the full tenents of their faith, rather than them leaving the Church. Many "Church bishops, preachers, and deacons" will burn in hell for all eternity because they have turned from the truth to accept what is politically popular. I can't really feel sorry for them - they chose the paths they currently follow willingly.

#4 I wonder what Peter and Paul would think of the fact that a branch of their church would become a realty clearinghouse.

#5 *trying not to offend*
Have to add episcopalians, at least the ones I know.

OP, That is the best summary I have seen as yet (as one in early 30's and child - the wife and I want to go but...). There are those close to me that have the 'good faith' but don't know where to put it anymore. The good news it does exist, the bad is that it is spread out and there are sharks in that 'new untapped market' -might explain some of the appeal for huck- Hate to say it but the only place that treats me like an honest to God believer on Sundays is our humble little golf course and the great people who are also out there.

#7 Is anyone bothered as I by the "contemporary" services now? I don't want to see a rock band.

TW your statement about Presbyterians is spot on. PCUSA eliminated the trinity. There is a conservative Presbyterian movement and I hope it catches. I just can't be a Baptist. Personal issue.
