    RMN’s Jean Torkelson Calls Church a ‘Sickly Brew’

    Rocky Mountain News – Denver and Colorados reliable source for breaking news, sports and entertainment: Columnists Ew.  First, this account of an Episcopal parish's annual meeting gone horribly wrong sounds like a nightmare. Second, why does columnist Jean Torkelson make it seem like every Episcopal church is roiled in controversy? Third, Grace and St Stephen's claims 2,400 members. 230 attended the vestry meeting. The rest may be voting with their feet.
