William, the sad truth is in the Episcopal Seminary that Richard Mellon Scaife established in my home town of Ambridge, PA. The Trinity Episcopal School is churning out Religious Right pastors at an alarming rate to split your denomination apart. There are a significant number of Episcopal churches that have broken away and follow a right wing gay hating archbishop.

Churches are well on their way to self-marginalization. More people everyday realize that religion is an internal experience as each goes their own way.

Shrug. We fight the good fight, as I said above. I helped our parish become, officially, a welcoming parish and we got our nervous, hesitant & even fearful conservative members on board with it too. Our new cantor & his partner came to us because of that and no one has left. Follow the way for real & you’ll know it in your heart.

I also said I think the church as it currently exists is dying. I doubt we are as far apart in these thoughts as you seem to indicate.
