Why PC(USA) Churches Are Dying A Slow Death

Bruce put up a post that has stirred some conversation.  You can check it out here.  Among other things he says:

For those who want to toss everything out because it is "traditional" as well as those who think God can only meet someone in one way - your way - you are both killing the church!  The sooner we realize that folks will connect with God in a variety of ways, the sooner we can embrace the wonderful complexities of the Body of Christ.  Just because one person may not connect with God in the same way another does, does NOT make them any less faithful to God.  If we can't appreciate the diverse ways that people meet God we will never REALLY respect the journeys that we each take and we essentially hold ourselves back from truly see Christ in the other.  We need to truly embrace the varied ways in which God meets people.  God can handle it.

Although a long post, it's actually quite succinct given the subject at hand.  I think it brings up some great points about the PC(USA) institution and if nothing else pushes us into a conversation about it.  Check it out and weigh in.
