What are the most liberal Christian denominations?

Question

I've heard United Church of Christ is the most liberal while the United Methodists lean left but are by no means monolithic. How about the Presbyterians? Any other? Baptists?

Answer 1

Unitarians are generally fairly liberal, I'm not sure if you'd count them as Christians though. And I've heard the Society of Friends is fairly liberal. But Baptists of any degree are most certainly NOT liberal.

Answer 2

The UCC is pretty liberal, but it is a loose denomination. Each church has the freedom of conscience to practice as they will (way oversimplified - but in the end it is up to each individual church how liberal/conservative it will be). Methodists are middle of the road.

The Presbyterian Church of America is practically Southern Baptist, while the PCUSA is a more liberal denomination, though probably more on the moderate side of things. They also tend to be more intellectual as denominations go.

The American Baptist church is also somewhat liberal (but by southern Baptist standards, they are very liberal).

Hope that helps a bit.

Answer 3

yeah I think that the united church of Christ are lefties, they allow gays and gay couples, which isn't a bad thing, just a different way of christian thought that everyone is equal in the eyes of god

Answer 4

Episcopalians are about as liberal as any denominations. They allow abortion, fornication, divorce, and homosexuality, and ordain both women and openly practicing homosexuals, elevating some members of both categories to bishop status.
