Presbyterian Church (USA) statistics have been released by national church headquarters, revealing a massive membership hemorrhage. On December 31, 2010, the PCUSA recorded a loss of 61,047 members. At its current loss rate, the denomination will be dead in less than 40 years. The PCUSA has shown losses every year since 1965, the year its General Assembly adopted a Book of Confessions, including "The Confession of 1967," a document that calls Scripture "the words of men." In 1965, the denomination numbered 4,254,597 members. Today, the number is 2,016,091.
