Get Religion talks about why Episcopalians get so much press. See WWROD: Why do Episcopalians get so much ink?

I agree with those observations. However let me add one. They get attention because they deserve it. Despite their low numbers compared to the total Anglican communion they have a enormous influence in Anglican affairs worldwide. Part of this is due to wealth but a much bigger part is because they are American. For better or worse we American Christians because of accident of birth are sometimes the tail that wags the dog in our faith communities. This I think actually happens in the Catholic Church to a certain extent.

It might not be that fair to places like Africa , but it seems to be the way things work..
