One sometimes hears people say that because the Episcopal Church is involved in a difficult conversation about human sexuality, we have “trouble getting our message out.” Thanks to Neva Rae Fox, the Church’s public affairs officer, we can say conclusively that in certain seasons of the year, this is objectively untrue. Every day Neva monitors the mainstream media for reports about the Church, and every Saturday we pass a few of those along. This week we present without elaboration a particularly bountiful harvest in its entirety.
