I think liberal Christianity (and Progressive Christianity, in particular) are at the cutting edge of where Christianity needs to go, if it is to survive another century. The church is dying, because it is at odds with science and all that we are quickly learning about our environment. It will have to change and become more relevant to today's world. Some churches are attempting this (even some conservative churches)..
When I was growing up in the 50's, there was something like an 70% regular church attendance rate, in this country. Most people attended. Today, it's down to 30% or less.
Where I am living in Southern California, I have seen church after church lose their congregations. Many churches now lease out the building to several different congregations, in order to keep their doors open.
