Conservatives do not have high hopes for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), which has been leaning liberal for decades and is now officially leaning further to the left.
Meeting in Orlando July 13-17, delegates at the General Assembly passed a significant resolution that Mark Tooley, president of The Institute on Religion & Democracy (IRD), tells OneNewsNow opens the denomination's doors to people of all sexual orientations or gender identities.
"Implied in that resolution that that should include the ordained clergy," he notes. "So this is perhaps the first or one of the first specific affirmations by this particular denomination of so-called sexual orientation and sexual or gender self-identity."
The denomination's leadership has been on that trajectory for a long time, and it has had a damaging impact. Once counting about two million members in the 1960s, the Disciples of Christ now has about 639,000, making it perhaps the fastest declining denomination in the nation.
