Are Sarcasm tags necessary?
Mainline Protestant denominations have been in steady decline for decades, and it’s largely due to the denominations’ embrace of theological liberalism. Trading in scriptural truth and sound doctrine for social justice and the cultural whims of the day is no way to reach people for Jesus — and it shows.
One denomination has made a massive move that shows how bad its decline is. The Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA), a radically progressive denomination, is shutting down the vast majority of its global missionary operations.
...
The Presbyterian World Mission is laying off 54 of its 60 missionaries and is assigning 30 office staff to serve as “global ecumenical advisors” in the new organization, which weirdly sounds like a government agency. The PCUSA has seen a drop of over 10% in membership between 2020 and 2023, and the ensuing drop in tithes and offerings necessitated the change, in part. Other concerns include missionaries serving in dangerous areas.
“The denomination, due to budget cuts and changes in emphasis, now expects Christian work to be done mostly by indigenous leaders around the globe, rather than by U.S. missionaries sent to foreign countries,” Garrison reported. Parachurch organizations will take up some of the slack as well.
