Ha! Those people don't want to be caught worshipping in a high school gym and listening to an electronic keyboard! They are too "sensitive" and therefore you OWE them that large building with the stained glass windows and pipe organ; you conservative Episcopalians can go have your antique services down the road at the VFW hall.
Oh, and by the way, don't think that that endowment money your great-grandparents gave will go with you. They want that money to advance their agenda (which is not anything that Christ would recognize, if you ask me). And when their congregations diminish, they will sell off the land and buildings to a developer, so that the money will go for a "good cause."
I am sorry to say I was right about this. I hope this plot has been foiled. That decision out in California about who owns the property was a really important one, as I noted at the time.
I remember your astute warning very well, and that is why I copied you on that reply.

I have told people who have left and are thinking about leaving, that they are doing exactly what these Church Killers have wanted them to do. If you love your church, stay and fight for it.
Thanks as usual.
