I went to church this morning, and I just loved it. While I wouldn't call it liturgical, it followed a familiar structure. This congregation was mostly old women (the larger, older Presbyterian church down town has many more young people and such, I'll check out that one.) What really got...

Can you please explain the distinction between liberal and conservative theology?
