[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our episcopal church was as full as I’ve ever seen it this Easter. Definitely at least twice and maybe even 3x as many people as a usual Sunday.

Our attendance has been holding steady overall. [b]We are really trying to bring in new families.[/b] [/quote]

You should adjust your language here to something like "new folks" or "new members" to be more inclusive.

^This kind of pedantry is the worst thing about Episcopalianism. Ignore the comment. Not all parish vestries are like this.

You mean inclusive? Not all vestries make an effort to be inclusive? Well, I guess you are right about that.[/quote]

No, I didn't mean inclusive. I meant [i]pedantic[/i] and [i]strident[/i]. You made an obtusely and deliberately uncharitable reading of the previous post just so that you could put on your "Well, actually" hat and do a bit of self-righteous finger-wagging. As a fellow Episcopalian who loves the church, I am over this kind of thing. [/quote]

You are being a jerk here. Desperate to argue. Check yourself. Lack of inclusivity—especially with respect to potential members who don’t have children —is a real problem in many congregations. So people need to watch their language, and they don’t know to do so.

Get over yourself.[/quote]
