The episcopal "church" has proudly declared victory after a forty year campaign, by their own admission. That they have riven their community and signed their own death knell bothers them not a whit.

Some facts from Virtueonline.org: the average Sunday attendance is now below 700,000 for the entire country. On any given Sunday this Fall, there will be more people sitting in ten NFL stadiums than in the entire 6600 churches of TEC. 69% of churches have Sunday attendance of less than 100 people. And they are aging fast. The average parishioner is 61 years old. There are basically no children coming up to replace the die-off of the baby boomer. 45% of churches do not have a full time pastor, and the average age of the pastors they have left is 58.

The people leaving since Vicky Robinson was declared a bishop has been a flood, and it may only increase now that the church has voted to consecrate sodomy in its sanctuaries.

Its really sad to see a church die, but i suppose when your willing to give up on the written word of God in the bible one starts to wonder if your a church at all.
