CHURCH SWAPPING
(Monday) An article in the NY Times highlights the recent change in the Episcopal Church USA and suggests that it has led to a lot of member swapping with the Catholic Church. There aren't any real numbers offered in the story -- but it gives the impression that both churches are growing because of the recent crisis in the Episcopal Church. Nor does the article mention the numbers that are going to other churches and the other Anglican bodies that have formed in the wake of the ordination of Gene Robinson as a bishop.
