30/04: Christian or Post-Christian?

Imagine yourself an average Methodist or Episcopal congregant. (Maybe no imagination is needed.) Then read this report from a conference on Queering the Church. Now perhaps you understand the concern many have. UPDATE: the link is correct but is opening very very slowly if at all. If and when I can open it again I'll try to paste the report in the extended section. Hat tip to MM for noticing.

I couldn't get to the report. I don't know if it's the link or just a big download that was taking a long time.

On the topic of changing Methodists, and on the Bosqueto boot, check out this blogsite:

Ok, the link works for me now. Thanks mostly for the heads up to the Institute on Religion and Democracy website. Interesting looking organization.

I know you've posted extensively on the decline of mainline Protestant denominations in America. Most of the posts seem to be displaying the symptoms and warning signs. I was wondering if you could give us some of your analysis as to the causes of this decline. The disconnect between the leadership and congregants seems to be a major part of the decline, but what caused that disconnect in the first place?

If this is too big a topic for a post, I'd appreciate it if you'd direct me to some works on the subject.
