“It is far more important to work to change the church than it is to work to change the political party.”

With this I agree. I believe liberal churches are a huge part of our problem. If churches would be doing their job, we wouldn't be in this mess but liberalism has a stranglehold on the churches just as they do on government and education. In fact, I blame "churches" more than any other group.

The difference between the churches and political parties is that there are more choices available with churches than political parties.

I wish you luck in your quest to change the United Methodist Church but liberals are liberals and they are not going to give up their control.

I was faced with the exact same dilemma. I took the easy way out and left the ELCA. That was several years ago and the denomination has deteriorated even more than it was then.

Personally, I do not believe these extremely liberal denominations are redeemable. They have commited (in my opinion) capital offenses by denying the very diety of Christ. They have substituted their own perverted liberal agenda for Biblical truth.

Just yesterday, my brother who is still in the ELCA asked my sister what the Bible says about homosexuality because the ELCA is in the process of going the whole route of welcoming homosexual pastors, homosexual unions, etc.

We left 15 years ago and have had 15 years of hearing and studying the true gospel peacefully.

I do agree it would be best if the liberal churches could be transformed but I am highly skeptical. You have to get rid of the rot at the top first and I don't see that happening.
