Greg Griffith: Episcopal Majority: Where Are the Throngs? You Said There Would Be Throngs!

Curtis at The Episcopal Majority is thinking - again - about numbers. He can't seem to shake the irony of such puny attendance, at a meeting for a group calling itself the "Episcopal Majority," in the midst of the hoo-ha surrounding +KJS's investiture:

3,200 had planned ahead to be in Washington the next day, the Diocese of Washington with thousands of members is a bastion of liberal church policy, but only 150 showed up for the national organizational meeting of The Episcopal Majority. You might hope 150 people would have shown up at a well-publicized event just to hear Sarah Dylan Breuer give musings from her popular blog.This meeting was pumped as a great gathering of people to defend the Episcopal Church from ominous threats from radical conservatives.

Compare this with the 2,500 conservatives who came from all over the country to Dallas for what was popularly referred to as the Plano conference. It was scheduled to be held in the huge Christ Church in Plano, but attendance forced them to move to a major convention center.
