Episcopal Church Presiding Bishop Proposes $2 million for 20 new churches
Global South provinces get short shrift from TEC's multi-million dollar largess

Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori released her Budget Proposal for consideration at the upcoming General Convention of the Episcopal Church this past week. Deep in the heart of her budget request was $2 million for 20 new churches. This is what she calls a "mission driven budget." She says Episcopalians have been "sent to heal the world."
Now the obvious question must be asked, who among the liberal apparatchiks and graduates of liberal and revisionist episcopal seminaries possibly know how to plant a church given the current ideology, theology and morals of The Episcopal Church? An Episcopal seminary president screaming "abortion is a blessing and our work is not done" and then calling for the suppression of rights of conscience for health care workers, will jump start new churches.
It is ironic that the liberal Bishop of Arizona, Kirk Smith said that the current crop of seminary graduates is not exactly well-formed, either in intellectual knowledge or leadership ability. "We need scholars in the church, to be sure, but even more we need young men and women who can grow the church. This clearly is not happening."
