“I don’t think the ECUSA, UMC, PCUSA, DOC, ELCA or UCC have been teaching these doctrines since 1962.”
....I expect that 1962 was chosen as a starting point because it was roughly the start of the Civil Rights era...that was the beginning of social activism with the northern Presbyterian church...after the merger in ‘83 the old southern church came on board too....although many congregations pulled out....Presbyterians have gone from civil rights, to anti-war, to no nukes, to Sandinistas, to abortion, to diversity celebration, to economic “justice” to gay rights...losing membership all along the way...next up: global warming....the Left has captured the church the same as it captured the Academy.
.....and I can tell you the money is shrinking right along with the membership rolls...what’s growing is membership fatigue....fewer members to serve on committees, sing in the choir, give rides to the elderly....even simple things like getting 6 pall bearers for a funeral....I first began to sense something was going bad over 30 years ago when they revised the Hymnal and purged “Onward Christian Soldiers”....it’s only gotten worse since....I’m glad my grandfathers were not alive to see this.
You are right on your analysis re “they revised the Hymnal and purged ‘Onward Christian Soldiers’....”
