Why most of these "mainline Protestant" churches are in decline.
To: smokinleroy
Protestant by birth, community christian by choice.

Church leaders who say they represent millions of mainline Protestants are accusing the Bush administration of not going far enough to address poverty across America. Perhaps if those church "leaders" would concentrate on feeding the poor rather than their liberal agenda there would be no need for the Bush administration to address poverty.

Those churches have become the worst possible places in America. The leaders are a bunch of sellout hacks, and the laity is too concerned with fitting into the Sunday Social Club to give a damn.

Which churches are we talking about here the churches in the article or the non-denominational churches like the one I attend?
To: Bikers4Bush
The ones in the article - sorry for not being more clear.
To: smokinleroy
They want to attack poverty their way -- the old-fashioned way; the LBJ "Great Society" way. These are social liberals primarily, Christian only coincidentally.

Click here to see what such "churches" say about abortion, capital punishment, gun control, etc.

Yep, I know all about the PCUSA - I left there in disgust years ago. What's funny in reading those position statments is how completely devoid they are of Scriptual authority. They merely spout a bunch of psychobabble to arrive at a wishy-washy "belief".
To: over3Owithabrain
No problem, and I agree about what those churches represent.
