Deutero Q

I just came across some interesting information from an op-ed piece in the Los Angeles Times: In 1960, members of mainline churches (Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Methodists, Lutherans and the like) accounted for 40 percent of all American Protestants. Today, it is more like 12 percent. Wow, that is a serious decline.

My conclusion is that mainline (more appropriately, "sideline") Protestantism is a cultural dinosaur on the verge of extinction. Not surprisingly, conservative/Bible-believing denominations are growing and thriving.
