[One reason attendance figures are down are the departures. "The challenge is to hold them"?

Dr. Sachs, an awful lot of your church has just walked away over the past four decades, not bothering with forwarding addresses (letters dimissory), because of our former church's departure from the Faith,finding new homes in Continuing, Orthodox, Roman and Protestant churches. Only those of us in the Continuing Churches are ever likely to darken your doors again, and then only after a major reformation of your church has occurred.

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 dual focus on formation and on mission would do much to enhance the Episcopal Church’s life,” he said.

Moron. One reason the mainline is dying is that they have dull-witted ideologues for leaders. Here's a radical notion for the "Rev Dr": how about a single focus on the gospel of Jesus Christ?

Nah. No way. What was I thinking.

The "whatever is cool and hip" crowd of religious groups finds it hard to keep people with convictions?

Imagine that!
