Outside the Beltway

Yes, in Knoxville, TN, Church Avenue and State Street cross each other. The sign sits out in front of a Presbyterian church, just a block or two from the courthouse.

    This whole thing has been pretty ugly to watch, don’t you agree?

    Yep. This reminded me of the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill situation. Whenever someone comes out of the woodwork at the 11th hour with charges that could have been made months earlier, I get suspicious.

    I bet there is at least a 20% drop in membership in the Episcopalian church in the next three years, and likely a 30% drop in donations. What’s left of the Episcopalians could merge with the Unitarians and become the Episcotarians or the Unipalians.
