All of the mainline protestant churches that adopted progressive liberal theology a century ago are dying today. Their support for homosexual acts and unions is nothing more than an outgrowth of their previous adoption of leftist theology.
These churches will continue to shrink because at the end of the day they don’t really believe in anything religious. At some point when the church is no longer religious a substantial portion of people don’t find it necessary to remain. Those that do view the church as little more than a social gathering place. These days, the folks filling the pews at leftist churches tend to have gray hair.
Right. If a church really doesn’t believe in anything, what’s the point of giving up your Sunday morning for nothing. Why give your money to not much of anything. The only people who remain are there out of inertia, tradition.
“These days, the folks filling the pews at leftist churches tend to have gray hair.”
And I think that’s because most of them don’t have a clue as to what is happening to their church at the national level. And as these gray hairs pass away, they are not being replaced with new members, thus eventually shrinking their congregations until no one is left.
