Some more good news:
Problem is though, if most of the progressive churches left, then the conservative majority that’s left probably won’t be down with this.
The conservatives are the ones leaving
This is the problem with the “if you don’t like it, leave” talking points that always happen in politics. Maybe they like where they are, and want to see it thrive. If you leave, you can’t effect change. But if you stay, you’re forced to deal with hostile policies.
Yeah, there’s going to be a schism either way.
