Episcopal Diocese of Virginia - Thriving?
Michelle Boorstein of the Washington Post reports HERE that the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia is "thriving" due to the fact that 16 priests are or will be ordained there this month. The diocesan calendar can be seen HERE,
PS: Michelle says that some of the new priests are "technically parts of other U.S. dioceses". So maybe DioVA is not expanding as much as one might think. Maybe DioVA was bringing in 'ringers' in an attempt to replace at least some of the clergy who moved to CANA. Who knows.
PPS: she also states: "The Episcopal Church has about 2.1 million members."
Finally, someone who is not inflating ECUSA membership!
