I left the Methodist Church several years ago, after the third marxist (literally) minister I just could not take the hatred and anti-God sermons.
Now I am an American Baptist and have found a wonderful home with people that for the most part share not only God’s message in a very loving manner, but are pretty much in tune with God’s will and government.
We left the liberal UCC years ago and are now quite happy with the Orthodox Presbyterian Church.
I have been attending an Evangelical Mehtodist church for a little over a year. It is an oasis in a spiritual desert filled with feel good, social club churches. I love it!
At least half of the congregation left after this soul searching, unfortunately, others stayed.
I asked why they didn't leave when the congregation determined that it really didn't matter whether their pastor was male or female.
The move to put women in the ministry has generally been the beginning of the end for most denominations, as should have been expected for their is nothing in scripture that supported this practice.
