  • Mainline Protestant churches in America include the United Methodist Church, most Lutherans, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, the United Church of Christ, Disciples of Christ, and northern Baptists, along with some smaller groups. They grew rapidly during the Great Awakening from the 1740s to the 1940s. Down to the 1950s they dominated religion in America, but they have been shrinking in membership and are now down to about 26 million; They are now outnumbered by Catholics and Evangelical Christians. Theologically they were generally evangelical in the 19th century, liberal or modenist in the early 20th century, and now generally favor Neo-orthodoxy. Theology is not a central concern, and they rarely engage in heresy trials. However all have been deeply divided in recent years by such issues as homosexuality. The Mainline churches founded many colleges, universities and divinity schools. They were leaders in many reform movements, ranging from anti-slavery to temperance to the Social Gospel and Civil Rights Movement. They are organizers and dominate the National Council of Churches.
