I was recently asked my thoughts on the Conservative Diocese of San Joaquin and their decison to split from the Episcopal Church. I think it is a shame that the San Joaquin Diocese of the Episcopal church felt the need to leave the Anglican community but, urban Episcopalians can take solace in the fact that the region covered by the Diocese based in Fresno covers one of the least stylish areas of California.In honor of the fallen Episcopalian Diocese I thought I’d offer a cute Episcopalian joke.
