Updated List Of Northeast Parishes

So here's the result of another hour or two spent on a quiet pre-holiday Sunday trying to make some sense of the conflicting versions, between the canon and the web site, of

• What's in the ACA Diocese of the Northeast
• What's not in the ACA Diocese of the Northeast
• What's an ACA Mission
• What's an ACA Parish

And here's what I have. I've retained the bold and the strikethrough from my last post for consistency, but what they now show is that there's simply no rhyme or reason to either listing. The best conclusion I can draw is that the canon is completely out of date, the web site a little less so, but it's still inaccurate.

The individual web sites aren't always clear on whether a church is a full-fledged parish or a mission. I've tried to lean in the direction of making it a parish if there's any doubt. In the absence of other information, if it says it meets in another denomination's church building, in a Masonic lodge, etc., I've made it a mission; if it seems to have a substantial building of its own, I've made it a parish.

The overwhelming impression I get, though, is that nobody's working very hard on any of this. It's a mess. It took me a few hours to make more sense of it than is out there now, and I wasn't paid to do it. What of the clergy and lay people who are paid to keep this stuff straight -- or even the volunteers, who could have kept this up to date? By their fruits. . .

But if anyone can provide corrections, clarifications, or updates to what I have here, I'll be happy to make any changes. The total I have right now, by the way, is 26 congregations (which confirms the number in last week's post) -- by far the largest diocese in the ACA -- of which 19 seem to be missions, which is to say they don't pledge to the diocese. Where is the money coming from? I'll look into that a little more in subsequent posts.
