If one’s “hopes” for the Anglican Communion to be more populus, then that is correct. If one’s “hope” is for it to be righteous, then that is incorrect.

( I know it’s MPSIMS, but as a member of a vibrant, growing and–especially compared to the growing conservative parishes–demographically young liberal Anglo-Catholic Episcopal church, I couldn’t let that slide. 😉 )
