Among a long tradition of kookberger causes, the latest in its "social justice" repertoire are LGBT equality, homosexual "marriage," and Israel BDS advocacy.
The church's membership peaked at around 2 million. It's membership is currently, nominally hovering at about a million, and in the last decade it's been losing about 50,000 members per year.
Its glidepath to extinction is well deserved: who wants to get out of bed on a Sunday morning to hear a butch lesbian in faded blue jeans spout complete bollocks about being "called to witness for justice" for thirty five minutes while a parade of morons drones from the same six or seven very carefully selected and sanitized readings about "love?"
Sadly, it will never completely disappear, because -- for a fee you understand -- they're willing to "solemnize" everything from romps in the woods to goat blessings, especially for people who suddenly decide a ceremony would be "nice," even though they've hitherto been in church about as often as Damien.
And unfortunately, they often have Very Nice Churches (TM) from back in the day, especially all those really cool colonial-style white churches in New England. Perfect for Weddings for Hire, even if they are empty on Sundays.
