St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in NewÂhallville is confronting questions about its very existence, but it is not alone.
Eight Episcopal parishes in New Haven have been engaged in talks at the diocesan offices in Meriden about their future. Like all of the so-called mainline Protestant denominations, the Episcopal Church is dealing with the decline in churchgoers while many parishes are weighed down with expensive, if beautiful, churches.
“We have until Dec. 4 really to resolve several issues that we have to address,” said Lou Campbell, senior warden of St. Andrew’s. These include “a deficit that accumulated over many, many years ”¦ and also we don’t have a priest so we have to start moving toward getting a priest.”
Read it all from the New Haven Register.
Turns out eviscerating orthodox theology, replacing it with leftist fads, and suing Christian congregations all over the country hasn’t worked out very well for the Episcopal Church.
