Those Episcopal Church numbers sure are odd what with TEC being so damned inclusive and all:
The theology of inclusion in the Episcopal Church is drawing in ’unchurched’ people from ethnic minorities who have historically been marginalized in American church and society, said the Rev. Dr. Fred Vergara, national missioner for Asian American Ministries of the Episcopal Church.
"I think the message they are getting is that if the Church is capable of welcoming and empowering women, gays and lesbians as equal members of the Body of Christ, then it is capable of welcoming and empowering almost everybody," Vergara said. "It is a radical form of hospitality that says, ’you are accepted whoever and whatever you are and you don’t need to be like us.’ It is a closer approximation of God’s unconditional love."
Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams. Duh...a gay church won't have much growth.
