Jesus came to seek and save that which is lost...not "to set up a conservative organization of conservative ministers"

Praxeas,
If you think people on these forums aren't saying that being UC is unevangelistic i'm afraid you need to go reread. People have said "i'm sick of these UC's pastoring 4 people getting to go and vote at GC" Today I read a post saying that revival in UC churches come by people having babies and not soul winning". My comments are not just geared toward this thread but this forum as a whole. I'm not saying you are in that company but I am saying there are many that are. Because of that I do defend the position that some of the most revialist churches in America are conservative. The fact is there are lazy liberals and lazy conservatives, there are revival minded liberals and revival minded conservatives. I just hate reading all the post that accuse conservative as being anti revival.
