The Episcopal organization used to get its money from its dioceses, but given the decline in membership and the resultant drop in revenue from the cash strapped dioceses, 815 is going directly to the people in its plea for cash. They mailed me a colorful request called "Bless 2019 Annual Appeal" that was full of personal stories on why people feel blessed to be an Episcopalian. Sadly, there is not a single mention of the name "Jesus" anywhere to be found in those pages. I believe this is a common problem for Episcopalians, they just can't make themselves use the "J" word. The word "Christ" made it in there once, but that must have been missed by the editor.
I took a few pictures of the mailing in case you didn't get one.
Instead of sending it back, I chose to recycle their mailing to the birdcage.

If I may be forgiven a political comment, Mayor Pete Buttigieg is running as the ultimate Episcopalian: gay (which is his primary qualification as he presents it), and disdainful of and dismissive of anyone who doesn't share his views.
