[Christian Newswire] 15 Nov 2008--IRD Religious Liberty Director Faith J.H. McDonnell commented:

"Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori has stated that the worst is behind the denomination. Saying so ignores the continued departure of parishes, and even more so, the decline in Sunday attendance.

"Suing four different dioceses simultaneously is going to be the least of Jefferts Schori's problems if Episcopalians continue to die off, stop going to church or leave for more vibrant communities of worship."

At the 2003 General Convention, liberal bishops admonished conservatives that the Holy Spirit was doing a new thing in the consecration of Gene Robinson. With the realignment of North American Anglicanism looming on the horizon, now we see the new thing that the Holy Spirit is doing.
