[Magdalen] TEC talk

[Ann Markle]

Tee-eee-see. They dropped ECUSA because our church encompasses more than
just dioceses in the US, including Puerto Rico,  Cuba, and several others
(maybe Haiti and the Dominican Republic?). So by not excluding part of the
members of our own church, it seems we've horned in on the Scots. I haven't
actually heard any complaints from them, and it's really nobody else's
business, though I suppose everyone is free to have an opinion; and just
because I haven't heard any Scottish complaints, doesn't mean they haven't
been made. Probably further options should be considered, what the heck.
