A parishioner directed me to a Binghamton area parish's newsletter where this is written:
There are 92 parishes in the Diocese of Central New York. Ten years ago there were 66 parishes with full-time priests. In 2009, there are only 30 parishes with full-time priests.
Comment: I wonder when the bishop was praying about his vote at General Convention 2003 whether the Lord told him that it was worth losing three parishes with full-time rectors in order to push for an unbiblical agenda. We'll probably never know, but the negative effects of that vote are there for everyone to see.
