Dutch and Rob:

I am merely recalling the response of TEC members, both lay and clergy, to the attitudes and actions of the General Conferences held every three years between 1973 and 1982 in which I was deeply involved with TEC in that decade. They were both distressed and displeased with the decisions and actions taken by the National Church in that time period. This particularly true in 1979 when the General Conference was held in Denver. I and my fellow parishoners saw the goings on up close and personal. Among some of my peers at that time, TEC was going too far too fast. Conversely, on certain vital issues, TEC was taking no action whatsoever or they acted in an indecisive fashion.
