Most of the members of the Episcopal church here voted to leave TEC, but the bishop of Atlanta threatened them, so the remnant got to keep the pricey new buildings the congregation had funded. I drove by the place yesterday at the time for services. The parking lot was practically empty.

If you don't mind my asking, which church is that?

St Jude's Marietta? Although their buildings aren't new.

If the place is empty, the remnant is going to have an entertaining time trying to pay the mortgage and the light bill.

Unfortunately, most Episcopalians in Atlanta are of one mind with the bishop. I think folks outside the Perimeter may feel differently, but their numbers aren't all that great.
