    The United Methodist Church has proposed to ban Gay marriage, Lesbian/Gay clergy, and sex outside marriage for the clergy. It threatens to fragment the church into a Liberal and Conservative branch. The UMC has been "United for over a century, but there may soon be two branches similar to what has happened to the Lutheran Church over the years. I think membership has been plummeting in the Methodist Church in recent years , and I noticed when I was in Australia, it had completely gone out of existence there and became a part of the "Unity Church", a group of Protestant churches that could no longer stand on their own due to plunging attendance.

    I think many reglious denominations in the USA are under going some change, even the Southern Baptist
    although Baptist may only be giving change lip service. The Catholic church appears to have found itsself
    in deep water, slightly over its head.
