"We must once again contend for the apostolic faith of the one, holy, universal and apostolic Church. This renewing work must be built only upon the foundation of our unity in the truth that is made known in Jesus Christ. It is now time for repentance, courage and action. The renewal, reform and healing of our churches only can come through the life-giving power of the Holy Spirit."

MAINLINE CHURCHES DOWN TO 18.1% OF AMERICANS:

An extensive new survey by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life confirms what other studies and experience have long asserted, that denominational affiliation in the U.S. is fluid and that Evangelical Churches have replaced the old Mainline denominations as the protestant majority. Only 18.1% of Americans claim affiliation with a Mainline church vs. 26.3% who identify themselves with an evangelical church. According to this study, only 16.1% of Americans see themselves as unaffiliated with any religion.
