I am currently “In between churches”. I am a Christian, but my family is largely Methodist. Though their are some fine Methodist Churches out their, I just can't bring my self to be a member of a Church whose hierarchy supports abortion and other liberal nonsense.

I'm all for open minds and open hearts, but not to the point where we start discarding the tenants of our own religion to try and swell our ranks and to gain approval from the secularists.

This article explains perfectly why me and countless others are abandoning the “mainline” churches for churches that won't discard Christ and the Bible in order to be popular or to be “modern” (even though Christianity is supposed to be Timeless).

I’m a Catholic. My wife is a non-practicing Methodist, she attends church with us.

I’ve read a lot of the position statements of mainline Protestant churches and a good many of them seem strongly pro-life, but they leave a bit of space for wiggle room amongst their congregants. It seems that the congregants take this wiggle room to have no opinion on the matter.

I live in a rural area and God bless the local Methodists are strongly pro-life, as is my church.

At least in the population centers of Texas there are options. Do you prefer formal/high church or informal/low church?

If you are near San Antonio, I belong to a Baptist church that I am proud to recommend.
