Any idea if attendance at this church dropped with his arrival?

I don't know, but rather doubt it.

All Saints Episcopal is the establishment church in Peterborough. Peterborough's a town of "beautiful people" and home to the McDowell Colony, an artist colony.

I expect that most of the congregation is delighted at Robinson's elevation. It's kinda chic, in some circles, to have social contact with a homosexual. It guarantees your bona fides as a liberal thinker, a tolerant and progressive person.

If you're a shepherd, Mr. Bishop, I don't want to be one of the sheep!
