pecusa: Losing and Closing Churches

The story below documents another new church start in Colorado. The problem for pecusa is that this church start is an Anglican one, an offshoot of a pecusa parish. A few posts down you can read about how the Church Pension Fund reports that pecusa is closing three churches a month. Meanwhile, in the Anglican Church in North America a strong start has been made toward planting one thousand new churches in five years.

The contrast couldn't be starker. pecusa continues to lose and close churches, the ACNA continues to gather and plant churches. Which trajectory do you prefer? If you are still in pecusa have you prayed about continuing to support what has become The Episcopal Fraud? Is your presence in pecusa leading others closer to Christ, or are you in fact supporting a dying institution that is leading people away from Christ?

If anyone would like to send the DCNY blog information about church closings in the DCNY you can do so to me privately or through the comments section.
