In most of the parishes where I am, on Sundays you can now shoot a cannonball through the church without hitting anybody.

In the parish church nearest in proximity to where I live, they have stopped having regular Sunday services. They put up a little cloth banner under the "Episcopal Church Welcomes You" announcing if they are going to have a service that Sunday or "no service this Sunday."

You have got to be kidding!

No, I'm not doubting you, but to determine on a week by week basis like that whether or not to conduct services like that... wow. That would be so, um, dispiriting!

It's one thing to cut back, as we did over the months when we were without a priest, the twice-monthly 8 AM; but even when our deacon was absent (and no supply priest was available) we held Morning Prayer at 10 AM. But this church sounds like it's not long until the For Sale sign goes up...
