re: Over 25% of Methodist churches abandon denomination as schism grows over LGBTQ+ issues

Funny, I was in Providence, RI a few weeks ago for business and through the weekend. I went to the oldest Baptist church in the country in downtown Providence....affiliated with the American Baptist conference...never heard of them.
Interesting in that the pastor was a woman from Midland, TX and the announcements were given by an obvious tranny.
It is a beautiful old church, totally restored in the 60's with a government grant. There might have been 50 people in a church that seats 400. They are surviving on historical monument money and it doesn't matter what the parishioners want or believe. Pretty sad.
