The purpose of any church is to teach members to live by Biblical truths, any straying from this by the inclusion of liberalism, political correctness, accepting homosexuality, in other words, embracing the evil trends of the day results in a shrinking congregation. The people cant be fooled by watered down religion.

I agree with this. Pentecostals and Evangelicals (the fastest growing Christian groups in the world) have essentially NO problems with liberalism or political correctness.

They do have a problem with egalitarianism though, woman ministers being one example.

You don’t have that correct. Unless you mean liberalism as returning to the first century style of following Christ and not a pope.

Political correctness is not in the evangelical churches I grew up in. The idea of evangelical is inherently fundamentalism or it is not evangelical.
