Good Stuff in TEC (The Episcopal Church) from "Three Rivers Episcopal" blog
There is a terrific Episcopal priest blogger named Jim Simons in Pittsburgh, PA who has a great feature that he runs nearly daily at "Three Rivers Episcopal" (how does he do it so often?!) which he calls, "Good Stuff in TEC." For those of you not up on Episcopal acronyms, TEC is the acronym for "The Episcopal Church." Rev. Dr. Jim Simons posts regularly about a wide variety of items, but his "Good Stuff in TEC" are just great - spanning the spectrum of the entire Episcopal Church, these items highlight the "good stuff" (good news?!)
To see all of his "Good Stuff" postings, click HERE.
His blog can be found HERE. (http://3riversepiscopal.blogspot.com/)

George Will on the Episcopal Church in Sunday's Washington Post
George Will comments on the Episcopal Church (but do read the essay!):
“The Episcopal Church once was America’s upper crust at prayer. Today it is ‘progressive’ politics cloaked — very thinly — in piety. Episcopalians’ discontents tell a cautionary tale for political as well as religious associations. As the church’s doctrines have become more elastic, the church has contracted. It celebrates an ‘inclusiveness’ that includes fewer and fewer members.”
– George Will, “A Faith’s Dwindling Following,” The Washington Post, October 19, 2008.
What do we say to that?
