[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder what the future holds for the UMC.  If they go the route of Episcopal churches, then it will be a slow death.  Is liberalism the death of many mainline Protestant churches?  I see so many beautiful and historical churches with empty seats.  It seems like many mainline Christian denominations are loosing membership besides their converts in Africa and in Asia.   However, mega conservative churches  and  prosperity preaching churches are growing like weeds all over the country.

I began witnessing the division of the UMC 22 years ago.  I am just surprised that it took this long for a schism to occur.     [/quote]

I think it will follow the trend of the divided Presbyterians — the conservative PCA is thriving while the liberal PCUSA is losing members.  [/quote]

We toured 22 churches in town over the last 9 months....everything from mega churches to traditional.  The traditional Presbyterian church won us over.  There are a lot of 30 somethings with children.  [/quote]
