More people = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Actually, I believe the Episcoplal Church’s math is less people = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Gays tend to be wealthy, die young, and lack heirs. And there’s that heritage of real estate, annuities, and wills. But the more people in the church, the more they want to have the money spent in support of spreading the gospel and ministries.
Don’t get me wrong: the Church Establishment profits off of more people in the pew, but this comes at a sizable loss of control over how to spend (and save) the money.
