I went to a Easter service from a denomination that has a spiraling downward situation. My cousin...who is the minister...kinda points out that they are lucky to have 130 members show up each Sunday. If you probably went back to the 1970s...they had around 300 members. My impression is that folks are looking for a reason to quit a church...and it doesn’t take an awful lot to convince them to drop out.

The PCUSA church that most of my immediate family go to and my dad has been a member of since 1945 or so, is growing. They're looking at rebuilding and expanding.
The denomination as a whole's in a tailspin, and has been since the 1960s. Absent a work of God it will end up withered to a tiny leftist pagan core.
Parker Williamson's first talk at the Christianity and Liberalism conference will give you a good idea what's happening.
