The Rev. Martin laments the decline of The Episcopal Church witnessing the large loss of the Great "GI" Generation which Texas Bishop Andy Doyle called the "tsunami of death." If current trends continue, using Bishop Doyle's sea imagery, the receding tide of Boomers will mean that by 2035, Christianity in North America will drop to 10 percent or less of the population, says Martin.

Fudging human sexuality has not been a winning ticket for him or the communion, with his own church, the Church of England in total disarray over the blessings of same sex unions. The Church of England has twisted it's knickers so much over this that it has turned into a pretzel, once bent it becomes baked-in rigid.

At issue is who has the right to make decisions for the diocese, an Indiana nonprofit corporation with 501 (C)(3) tax-exempt status, and who owns the diocesan properties and governs the other entities affiliated with it, which includes 7,000 persons, a cathedral, as well as 80 parishes.

The Episcopal Church is in trouble, big trouble. It is declining faster than a street dog jumping off a meat wagon to chase a rat outside an Episcopal cathedral. The drop between 2021 and 2022 was the largest on record - 5.6%. While average Sunday attendance (ASA) "declined dramatically" during the pandemic in 2020-2021, in 2022 the church saw a brief uptick to 372,952. The age of an average Episcopalian is 69. Membership has gone from 3.4 million in 1960 to 1.58 million in 2022.
