Quick post ...
There is an online article at Christianity Today entitled: "Church Divorce Done Right: Denominational Splits Just Aren't What They Used To Be" by Ted Olsen (posted 3/07/2007)
I am not allowed to violate copywrite laws and copy it in my blog, but I can give you the link < http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2007/april/1.24.html > so that you can read it directly.
The article starts ... "When I asked Orlando Sentinel religion reporter Mark Pinsky if he'd covered the February meeting where as many as 150 Presbyterian Church (USA) congregations made plans * to leave the denomination, I wasn't terribly surprised when he answered no ..."
This article starts out by talking about the PC(USA) scene, but it also does a wider observational analysis of the overall demarcation between liberal-progressive and evangelical concerns.
Plus it gives some history that you may find helpful concerning a similar time - the 1920s when J. Gresham Machen gave leadership to the conservative wing of the Presbyterian Church in contrast to the liberal-progressives that by and large spurned the witness of scripture and the voice of the creeds.
Take a few minutes to check this out.
