Huffing and Puffing churches

I remember when the big, mainline Protestant denominations were forces for great good. They produced some nationally famous pulpit orators, thanks largely to the power of radio in those days. Now those churches are flyng apart, mired in controversy and rancor, desperate to stay alive in a changing world. Many are engaged in frantic competition with the secular world on its own terms.There's a great line, usually attributed to columnist Joseph Sobran: "I'd rather be in a church that's five hundred years behind the times than one that's five minutes behind and huffing and puffing to catch up."
