From Texas-
As a retired rector and bishop in the
Episcopal Church, Claude Payne naturally is concerned about the decline
in church attention among most mainstream denominations.
He’s not alone.
Plenty
of current bishops, ministers and other church leaders are worried
about the same thing. Payne offers an approach to perhaps reversing that
trend with a new book, “Reclaiming Christianity,” which was released by
Forward Movement during the Episcopal Church’s triennial General
Convention held in Austin in July. The book went on sale to the public
Wednesday and is available for $15 on amazon.com.
Payne
and his wife, Barbara, both grew up in Abilene and live here in
retirement. Payne was rector of St. Martin’s Episcopal Church in Houston
before becoming bishop of Texas in 1995. He participated in the April
21 funeral of former First Lady Barbara Bush at St. Martin’s.
