LETTERS, Page 6Liberalism's Price
The report on how churches search for a new pastor (RELIGION,
Dec. 19) shows that many mainstream Protestant denominations
persist in pursuing liberalism. Apparently pastoral leaders fail
to understand the connection between this liberalism and the 25%
membership loss that has occurred in churches in the past 20 years.
Because we have an oversupply of ordained clergy seeking church
posts, we have overstaffed our administrative positions. We should
focus our attention back on basic parish evangelism.
