....some of the people at Sunday's service were not former or current members of All Saints and had instead come from other parts of the diocese as a show of support for the parish.

That answers your question. The revisionists ALWAYS bring in ringers from outside the parish in a situation like this!

I also wonder about their statements that gaysbians were not "welcome" under the orthodox rector. I doubt that there were bouncers at the door, or that the bulletin or sermons said "no gaysbians allowed". The REAL issue is that the rector and others probably said that the "consecration" of "Selfish Gene" Robinson was illegitimate, and that the Bible says that homosexual behavior is a sin. They also probably refused to go along with using "inclusive language", or otherwise holding "gay friendly" services. Or to sing that booby-trap of a hymn, "All Are Welcome".
