...The United Methodist Church, America's second largest Protestant denomination, reports a net loss of 71,000 members in the United States last year, bringing the total under 8.2 million. That followed a decline of 69,000 in 2003. The United Methodists have suffered annual declines for decades. The latest report shows some membership growth in the South, with the largest drops mostly in the Midwest and Northeast. [AP]
