Reform churches are not necessarily conservative. I pointed out that the Missouri Synod is conservative. But, when we think of the traditional mainline churches, they’ve all pretty much gone liberal, to include my Methodist Church.

Well, the following denominations within the Methodist Church have no sacrificed their support of the bible and it's definition of Homosexuality as sin:

1. Free Methodist.
2. African Methodist Episcopal Church
3. Evangelical Methodist Church 4. Free Methodist Church 5. Methodist Church of Great Britain 6. Primitive Methodist Church 7. Even the United Methodist Church is still holding firm against Homosexuality and Gay Marriage.

To me, that confirms the conservative nature of a church, in general.

Too often, the term "Mainline Protestant Churches" and the Denominations that have embraced the sin of Homosexuality is falsely used by those in the Catholic camp to claim that all Protestant churches that are considered mainline the notion that they have all walked away from God, and they have not, anymore than the large number of Catholics who support Abortion or Gay Marriage proves that the Catholic church has walked away from God.

It is an over-generalization, and verges on a lie.
