The decline in numbers has two parts. One, younger and biblically inclined families left for churches that still believe the Bible. Two, the remaining attenders are dying off.

There’s hope. The lesbian pastors in the PCUSA can still have lots of kids.

"The Book of Common Worship, provided for voluntary use in congregations, serves as a companion to the Directory for Worship, providing full texts and prayers for services described in more general terms in the Directory for Worship. The two work together like a compass and a map."

Boy are they named right - PC USA.

Churches were the only institutions that the left hadn’t taken control of. They’re about to fall to.

The Gaystapo will be pleased.

I believe the phrase from Scripture to His children is something like “come out of her”.

We KNOW what Jesus actually said:

Matthew 19:
And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan; 2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. 3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? 4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Yup, but it is probably amazing how many Freepers might be attending a “church” that belongs to the NCC. They don’t know, or don’t care.

The PCA (traditional orthodox Presbyterian denomination) has more people in the pews on Sundays than the PCUSA despite having a fraction of the members claimed by PCUSA.

I was raised Southern Presbyterian. SP was absorbed by the much more liberal PCUSA.
Honestly don't go often but when I do it's PCA.
Pretty much the same as what I grew up with.

There is a Presbyterian Church here that is extremely conservative. In fact, for hymns they just sing the Psalms.

I think the rank and file of most of these post-Christian churches are far more orthodox than the leadership. But as has been demonstrated more publicly with Papa Francisco, the post-Christian sodomites and socialist leftists learned that by seizing control of the leadership they can dominate the institutions.
