The Last of the Protestant Modernists?

Does the old Modernist Religious Left still exist? The New York Times found one of its last recognizable vestiges in the Reverend Jim Rigby of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas. His congregation includes Texas U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico, who is also a seminarian, hence the interest. St. Andrew’s is in the fast-declining Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The PCUSA (including its predecessor bodies) has lost about 75 percent of its members over the last 60 years.
