Please don't take this as a slam against UM. We happen to live in a very liberal area and it took us 10 years to find a decent church-alas, a Southern Baptist. We're Calvinists in Baptist clothing. :O)

Sadly I think this is happening in many of the churches today of all denominations. The Barna reports which studies religious trends confirms this.

I don't believe you could slam the UMC any more than I have.

I think the Southern Baptists are an excellent denomination, and you are blessed to have found a good church.
