Re: three legged stool.

I can go you one better. Our rector tried to change "tradition" to "community". He thought that "better expressed our intentions."

HIS intentions, he means. Not mine.

I notice from our weekly church newsletter that pledges are down (one of the ones that is down is ours - it is nonexistent after 28 years of faithful giving.) The rector tries to minimize it, saying "a few parishioners . . . " but I think they're hurting.

Sigh, that is so very sad. I have heard that same story so many times lately. Keep hitting them where it counts, IN THE WALLET. It's mean but it's what they understand!
