Why are there so many Episcopalians in South Dakota?

Edited to add that the maps on that site are a lot more interesting in the context of this article.

The Rev. Becca Stevens, an Episcopal priest in Nashville TN, founded a residential recovery program for women with history of addiction and prostitution called Magdalene. One of the things these women do while in the program is work for Thistle Farms. Another of Rev. Becca’s projects, Thistle Farms creates all natural, earth friendly skin products with Biblical names, like “Lot’s Wife Salt Scub.” Proceeds fund the Magdalene program, while the work itself gives the participants the chance to experience the dignity of legal employment. If you live in the Nashville area, you can host a “salon party.” Like a Tupperware party for a good cause, Thistle Farms parties involve friends, food, product demos and something extra: a visit from one of women being helped by Magdalene. Outside Nashville, you can have a party kit sent to you along with a video about the program. This would be a perfect activity for an ECW group to sponsor, if we had one, which we don’t. (hint hint!) Maybe the young women in our youth group would like to do something like this?
