Albert Mohler: Vanishing Christianity — A Lesson from the Presbyterians

"'Liberal Protestantism, in its determined policy of accommodation with the secular world, has succeeded in making itself dispensable.' That was the judgment of Thomas C.

The latest evidence for this pattern is found in a report just released by The Presbyterian Panel, a research group that serves the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) [PCUSA]. The panel's report is presented as a "Religious and Demographic Profile of Presbyterians, 2008." The report contains relatively few surprises, but it is filled with data about the beliefs of Presbyterian laypersons and clergy."
