Nearly a decade and a half ago I and the church of which I am a part was part of the first wave of exodus out of the elca. It was clear even then that those who wanted change had already taken into account there would be losses, perhaps significant losses. Those losses were acceptable to them to achieve the change they sought.
It is no different within the BSA.
This may be the last time I capitalize “BSA.” Like the elca, it may prove undeserving of the respect of using capitol letters.
Former Episcopalian here who fled the ECUSA sinking ship in 2003. Same story.
