What any church allows as it leader, says a lot about the church. So are they avoiding the word of GOD for butts in the seats and $$$$ in the collection plate?

More like butts in the seats. The new 'enlightened' folks don't really understand tithes and charity.

#4 This seems to be a popular marketing mistake lately:
We already own x% of the market.
If we change our brand we can pick up an additional y%.
The fly in the ointment is that the original customers don't like the new brand and bail for something more to their taste. See the NFL, for example.

#7 The church is one of the largest Christian denominations in the United States with about 3.3 million members.

However, when they were formed (back in the 1980s if memory serves), they had about 10 million members.

Like the old joke: How do you get to be a "large" liberal denomination? Answer: You start out as a much larger one.
