It may also be accurate to say, as I've since heard, that the decision to close the building was based purely on fiscal considerations. If that's true then it also bears pointing out that Episcopal Church attendance has been dropping sharply for some time now. I think it's fair to say that this problem has theological as well demographic roots.

What happened with our departed friends has little to do with the tight knit group of people that have rebuilt a community dedicated to high church and welcoming newcomers. We enjoyed the beautiful church that they left behind, but we will find our own appropriate location like they did. This is a very poorly chosen title.
