I pray you’re right, but fear that this group is lost. It will take a schism, not a body-wide healing, to reconcile any affiliated party to biblical Christianity.

There is actually increasing talk of just such a split. As for me, I am reassured by the words of The Church's One Foundation,
Though with a scornful wonder
we see her sore oppressed,
by schisms rent asunder,
by heresies distressed,
yet saints their watch are keeping;
their cry goes up, "How long?"
And soon the night of weeping
shall be the morn of song.
And I am also reminded of the great evangelical leader John Stott, who pointed out that that faithful remnant in the Bible is always within the church, not outside of it.
