Wood Badge and Adult Leader Training

At least in my district we did not lose units due the Methodist pull out, they all (5) found other charter organizations to pick them up.  Also, while I cannot speak for all districts or councils but in this area the Methodist Church did not pay for membership.  My own unit was one of those who had to find a new C.O. and while we were at the Methodist Church, we only had one member who was also a member of that church.

Basically, from my area info, there was/is an ongoing rift in the larger denomination related to the Acronym issues.  World wide, the scism is huge, again related to the social changes.  But it is really most of the oldline protestant denominations that have suffered due to changing community views and fewer churched families.  The concept of families attending church together has fallen away, partly due to the societal changes, but frankly also due to many families having struggles just to keep themselves going, and the Church often did not respond well.  Still, spirituality is often apparently seen as personal, and the dictates of old line denominations that could not respond affected responses.  Somehow our congregations continue to serve the community and while now very small, are functioning and adjusting.  But the community resouce the church is makes it a survivor.  We are not likely to ever see the pattern of the last century.
