Well, membership has been declining since 2005.

Rick Warren, the retired pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, failed Tuesday to convince the Southern Baptist Convention to restore his church to its fold after his 2021 decision to ordain three women to the pastoral ministry. In a vote taken in New Orleans Tuesday, the approximately 12,000 messengers, as delegates to the convention are called, decided by a 9-1 margin to finalize the expulsion of one of the country's largest Baptist congregations. The results were announced Wednesday.

Even more lopsided was the vote to formally expel Fern Creek Baptist Church, which Linda Barnes Popham has pastored for 33 years.

It'll be interesting to see if the right wing extremist god squad gives Rick the BudLight//Target treatment, or stages blockade protests ala Pride night at Dodger Stadium.

Not smart business.

If the women were hot, then more people would attend services and toss money into the baskets.

Probably not. Religion has been on the decline in this country (and much of the world) for years. Fully 1/3 of the US population now specifies "no preference" when surveyed (and the number is likely higher than that since many are uncomfortable saying to strangers -pollsters- they don't believe).

We still have a long way to catch up with Denmark (I think 80%+ there).
