The denomination, which has traditionally been conservative, has been embroiled with scandal as woke elements in leadership try to steer the SBC into the same theological heresy that has made much of the mainline Protestant church completely irrelevant...

The Left and Woke love to emulate the Chicoms such as playing the long game. Everything they do is planned out at least 20 years in advance.

What you are seeing at Southern Baptist Conference (SBC) leadership are Woke agent provocateurs who have been slowly planning to take down the church since George Bush Jr's presidency.

Much of this is those Churches becoming independent or joining other affiliations.

Beth Moore's stench is sending churches out of the SBC, but not Christians out of the Church.

I don't have the stats in front, but Mainlines and Liberal Churches are taking a beating, but very conservative ones are booming.

You know, sometimes I scroll right past things that are too bizarre because I think, "There's no way this isn't a parody."

Liberal churches collapsing because the premise of them was that the members follow what Jesus said as far as love God with all your might and love your neighbor as you love yourself.

If they can't operate somewhat at least by that premise then they fracture and disintegrate.

If you got uppity and smug left wing authoritarian liberals as the "church members" then it is really not a church, but more a political club.

And a lot of them are really atheists or agnostics, and I was thinking of the Unitarian Church when this came to mind.

Those who at least somewhat believe in that premise will find another church.

American "progressive Christians" are pushing their Western sexual values on African churches (you know, colonization) and have alienated an entire continent of Christians.

1.2 million in a single day, gone. 10% of the church, gone. Just like that.

Methodism in Africa, which outnumbers Methodists in the US for the time being, is thriving. But now it will have to thrive away from the United Methodist Church and take the form of either independent Methodism or join the conservative Global Methodist denomination.

In their efforts to be inclusive, the UMC has driven away now more than 20% of its members in the last few years.

The Declaration

Decision of the Ivory Coast Annual Conference

Whereas the United Methodist Church from the postponed 2020 General
Conference held from April 23 to May 3, 2024 in Charlotte, North Carolina, in
the United States, is not based on any biblical and disciplinary values,
Considering that the new United Methodist Church is now based on sociocultural
and contextual values which have consumed its doctrinal and
disciplinary integrity,
Considering that the new United Methodist Church has preferred to sacrifice
its honorability and integrity to honor the LGBT,
Considering that the new United Methodist Church which distances itself from
the Holy Scriptures is no longer suitable for the Annual Conference of Côte
d'Ivoire,
The Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church-Côte d'Ivoire Ivory,
gathered in its extraordinary session on Tuesday, May 28, 2024 at the Jubilee
temple of Cocody, for reasons of conscience, before God and before his word,
supreme authority in matters of faith and life,
Decides to leave the United Methodist Church denomination .

As for businesses, so also for church denominations - go woke, go broke. "There's too much faggotry," says Francis because he knows the coffers will empty.
