Decline in New York Episcopal Sunday Schools Cited
The New York Diocese reports 38840 attendees in Episcopal Sunday Schools, down from 44226 in 1900 and 43974 in 1904, with a drop of nearly 1000 from last year. A Sunday School Commission notes broader national trends, blaming parish rectors and changing demographics, while US communicants total 884,503 and annual gifts reach 17,605,369, yet a shortage of men for clergy remains a serious issue.
