General Convention proved a milestone for VOL. While the final figures are not in, we can reveal that Virtueonline was the most widely read News Service coming out of TEC's General Convention. We wrote nearly 60 stories and got over 62,000 unique visitors compared to Episcopal News Service (ENS) of 60,072 - the official news source of the Episcopal Church. Our numbers are still rising as we continue to post more stories from this event. VOL had more than 240,000 page views compared to ENS which got 172,800. We had a staff of five; 3 onsite, 2 offsite. They had a dozen reporters on site and we did it all on a shoe string budget of less than $6,000. The full fare of GenCon was over $15 million.
We need to keep the pressure on. We cannot give up now, too much is at stake. The silence of the Archbishop of Canterbury over TEC's actions speaks volumes. Dr. Rowan Williams is out the door in five months. Evidently he supposes that TEC can say and do what it wants. He doesn't care. He doesn't have to comment. He will exit as the Listening Process continues to sucker the weak and financially needy. The Covenant is past its shelf life and will go out with him. No one will take it seriously once he is gone; the Global South and a lot of liberal provinces have already rejected it including TEC and the Canadians.
