I think we should look at Micropolitan areas — cities of 10,000 to 49,999 souls — as likely areas for encouraging new congregation growth.

I was tickled with Fr. Chris Tessone (Even the Devils Believe) blogged about the Scottish Episcopal Church resources I mentioned to him. There are others from northern Europe in English, some of which I’ve written about before.
These other liturgies come from the Lutheran churches — sometimes state churches — of Scandinavia and the Baltic states. [...]
No pony jokes.
Careful readers know I have an interest in far-away, sparsely inhabited areas. I’m grateful to the Internet — and before that shortwave radio and a childhood spent reading encyclopedia — to keep up with goings-on in the far corners of the world.
