Random Thought
A mass exodus of dissidents from the church is unlikely. I know if I want someone to leave my cubical checking my watch or looking impatient only encourages them to stay. Was it Twain who said he'd never belong to a club that would have him as a member? Dissidents, by definition, want to belong to clubs who don't want them as a member. What the heck can you protest against within Unitarianism or even Episcopalianism?
No, the ones who may fall from the Church are the ones who don't know the treasure they have, the ones insufficiently catechized. The Richard McBriens of the world we shall always have with us - the dear soul down the street who doesn't know any better is the one who will leave.
