| #4 Why does it come as a surprise that the old institutional churches have been infilitrated and subverted by the left. They employed the same methods they used to take over public education and turn it into something that the people who fund it and trust it to educate their children can't recognize. |

| #3 some kind of final disintegration in which both churches become essentially congregational. Yep, bottom up democracy (freedom of collective choice) finally replaces top down dictat. Normal disclaimer, I'm an athiest. |

| #2 Good point, 2b. And other once not-so-great churches are growing like weeds. In fact, one of the important 'appeals' of Islam is that it provides answers, not just 'whatever.' |

| #1 good article - but falling apart? More like getting back to basics if you ask me. The reason their membership is dwindling is because of the Bishops and their "go with your feelings" attitude. By breaking apart, some churches will regrow and regain their congregations and practice teaching Christian principals instead of chanting Death to Israel, promoting gay activism and focusing on politics. What's the point of going to church to learn a better way if their message is whatever. |
