I dont blame them for leaving.

The timing of this decision is also important. It came at a time of relative calm and good will in the Episcopal Church, and many people have questioned the reasons—or lack thereof—behind it. The Rev. William L. Sachs, director of the Center for Reconciliation and Mission at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Richmond, Va., told me that "since 2003 the Episcopal Church has worked very hard at listening to the Anglican Communion and trying to honor the Windsor Report and, in fact, there has been a moratorium on the consecration of gay bishops. So, what have they got to complain about?" The election of a female presiding bishop with liberal views on gays and lesbians is the closest he could think of to a proximate cause for last Sunday's decision, but considering Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori's recent efforts to accommodate those who don't share her more liberal viewpoint on homosexuality, and considering many people's support for women clergy in these breakaway churches, even that seems an unconvincing provocation.


This is the last paragraph. First paragraph the author is glad to see them go, but in the last, she still doesn't understand.

"Astrid Storm, an Episcopal priest,"

Ah, well....

[AnAmericanMother]

They couldn't find anybody else to write this?

She's been vicar for exactly THREE MONTHS, and was only ordained 5 years ago. She doesn't identify one of the churches she was at before, other than to say it was "in Ohio." Huh?

The extremely barebones (and weirdly precious) website for this very small mission parish is here.

They only claim "40 to 50" people . . . which means it's probably a lot smaller.

Bob Williams, the director of communication at the Episcopal Church Center in New York, said, "Parishioners and clergy leave the church; churches don't. …

Well, there's your problem. The people are the church, not buildings.

Act 8:1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

I wonder what they used to scatter all those buildings?(plus how many rooms were in apostle Andrew)
