GJ - In looking for people writing about apostasy in the Christian Church, I found Virtue Online. I often used his articles and still do.
My best friend at Notre Dame Was Father Charles Caldwell, a traditional Episcopalian who later taught at Nashotah House, where we visited him. Charles died of cancer some years ago.
Charles, like David, was a traditional Episcopalian, not to be confused with the radicals who make the news. The traditionalists broke with radicals before ELCA woke up to what was happening.
The best source for excellent articles about the radical Episcopalians, who largely control the properties and money of the long-established denomination - is Virtue Online.
