"The confident predictions by TEC's leadership that the fleeing orthodox Episcopalians will be replaced by others sympathetic to the new gospel and agenda have been proved utterly false. People and whole congregations are leaving at an accelerating pace. The result is TEC's official denial of decreasing membership and a budget approved by this 76th General Convention that requires massive cuts in programs and the termination of 30% of TEC's headquarters staff."
This is from Fr. Philip Ashley's Chaplains Corner article that is posted below. If you want an example of decreasing membership and finances that is closer to home you need look no further than the DCNY and the diocesan staff cuts that were made for 2009.
