The parish register is also missing, which means the parish can't answer requests for information about baptisms, confirmations, marriages, memberships, and so forth, just as such requests are being renewed. It seems to me that Marsh is abandoning any pretense of Christian ministry -- although, as the evidence mounts that the ACA-inspired pirates intended simply to sell the property, this really shouldn't be a surprise.
"On the whole, I do not find Christians, outside the catacombs, sufficiently sensible of the conditions. . . . It is madness to wear ladies' straw hats and velvet hats to church; we should all be wearing crash helmets. Ushers should issue life preservers and signal flares; they should lash us to our pews." -- Annie Dillard

Missing Items
As the vestry slowly takes inventory of the property, two items appear to be missing. First the reliquary that held the Relic of the True Cross has been located, but the Relic itself is missing. Evidence says it was still there in the summer of 2013. That eliminates a few suspects and narrows the search. My source says, "But IMAGINE! Stealing such a Relic! -- Is there a Guilty Conscience out there in ACA-land???"
