[Interesting to see the roped-off pews. Why, I wonder? To force the remainder to the front for the photo shoots? I've been through a "split" (a long time ago) and nothing like that took place. Then again, it wasn't newsworthy then. --sionnsar]

Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams.

FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this moderately high-volume ping list (typically 3-9 pings/day).
This list is pinged by sionnsar, Huber and newheart.

a staff member for the diocese, told parishioners. "The future is in your hands and the hands of the diocese."

That is right, God has nothing to do with it.

Later in the morning, about three dozen people gathered at Christ the King for a worship service presided over by two priests sent by the Episcopal Diocese of San Diego. My count is 22 people, including clergy. I guess that's about three dozen in the MSM.

Between the Catholics with their pedophile Priests and the radical Liberals with their homosexual agenda, the Christian Church has suffered greatly. This is how the islamofacists are able to increase their numbers so rapidly. It is also why the vast majority of the people in this country are "unchurched" and rarely attend.

I attended an Anglican Church in London back in the late 70's where a Priest had roped off the rear pews, to force folks to the front. I found it hysterical!

I discovered that the Church didn't have a really good PA system and the Priest was tired of having to yell, so he got out the rope and roped off the rear pews.

OTOH, I find in charismatic, evangelical Churches in the Episcopal Church, everyone seems to "fight" for the front. No sitting in the rear at those Churches.

Sunday evening, I attended a Cantata at a local Methodist Church and was reminded of the "rush to the rear". Very few folks sitting down front. Since I try not to sit behind children as I'm easily distracted, I headed down front. I'm just used to sitting in the front pews.

Just thought I'd offer up these thoughts.
