Southern roots, with time in the Bay Area and DC. Now in the PNW. Unapologetic Episcopalian. TOTAL geek.

4. If you really want to bring new people in, then be prepared to meet people where they are and give them a reason to come. When they do show up, give them a reason to keep coming back.

3. And just because someone might have heard about it and liked it, that doesn't mean they'll decide to visit an Episcopal church. So don't expect floods of people to start coming in.
