And that's precisely what happened to us. Our former ECUSA parish used to be conservative (relatively speaking for suburban Atlanta - but it was liveable for orthodox believers and the rector was tolerant of divergent views.)
Then our rector retired and we got a new guy. The Atlanta diocese is ultra-liberal (the new bishop is one of Griswold's pets and was sent to Lincoln) and you couldn't find an orthodox priest in this diocese now with "a pair o' patent double million magnifyin' gas microscopes of hextra power."
So I don't think the author of this piece is being realistic when he chastises some of us for leaving. There is no strategic bridge left in this diocese.
The argument that, "Well, my parish is still conservative" is not going to hold for very long. Episcopal seminaries churn out revisionists, save perhaps Nashotah. When I was on a search committee, all Nashotah candidates were tossed out (too conservative). There was nothing I could do because it was majority vote and I was in the minority. NO Trinity Candidates even made it past the deployment officer.
There is a gathering of deployment officers twice a year where they give the scoop on each others' priests, what they're like, what their track record is. Kinda like trading professional athletes.
There is no way an orthodox priest can be hired if a bishop is revisionist.
So again, I ask those who plan on staying, how old is your rector and how long till he retires? Because that's how long you have until the revisionist wolves come knocking at your door.
And with Schori at the helm, she's not shy about penalties against "those who want church their way and have been behaving badly."
Thank God, Title IV wasn't acted on or even LAY people could have presentment charges against them for disloyalty to the "church".
