Good news, but they need to work harder if they want to keep up with the PCUSA in losses.

Does “active” membership mean that they show up on Christmas?

The Episcopal Church has been taken over by sexual deviants and eco fascists. One can't reproduce and the other refuses to. Not only that, but those who don't fall into either category and are horrified by what has become of their church are leaving for calmer pastures.

I’ve heard anecdotal evidence that while more liberal denominations are losing members, that more conservative or Bible believing denominations are seeing growth.

Its all anecdotal; I don’t have any statistics. Perhaps others do.

Heavy duty in New England and nothing has moved in to take its place except the religion of liberalism.

So the LGBTQP Christians aren’t rushing in to fill the pews?

Yup, people are jumping ship to the bible-centered Anglican Church in North America.

No matter individual opinions here, religion by and large is massively losing adherents. It is a millennial thing combined with boomer cynicism.

I think Gen Y and Greatest Generation might be the only things holding it together at all.

Karl Marx: “The Church of England would give up 38 of its 39 articles [of faith] rather than one-thirty-ninth of its income.”

The American Episcopal Church today is just as godless as Marx. In fact, its clergy & lay leadership actively deny the articles of faith. They’re no longer a Christian denomination, just a Socialist political group.

I think it has something to do with Homosexual Pastors. I mean, if you are openly living in sin and disobedience to God in the Church Leadership, many Christians will leave that Church and join one where the Pastor believes in God

They're probably closing the "monkey model" parishes.
You know, the churches they built on the wrong side
of the tracks to keep riff-raff from going to the church
downtown.

They, like ALL separated brethren are always welcome home to true Christianity, Catholicism. Millions have done so once they overcame their false prejudices forced on them by false prophets.

Can the Episcopal leaders gather some time, somewhere to discuss this, address the worst problems and come up with solutions to enact?

The new “inclusion” is tuning out to be “seclusion.”
