Ugh, why stay on the dying tree?

The senior pastor, his staff, and the elected leaders from the congregation argued that PCUSA, the nation's largest Presbyterian body, had become too liberal and had drifted from the church's theological foundation. But the final count fell 36 votes short out of 1,681 ballots cast.

And who says that attendance at church/voting never changes anything.

Wasn’t there an scandal about a decade or so ago where a minister there had an adulterous affair? I didn’t hear too much about it but I thought he had to step down in shame.

More than half voted for the change, maybe they should look for a new church to join?
