On March 15, 2001, The Washington Post reported on changes in three episcopal churches in the Baileys Crossroads area in Virginia that reflect the growing ethnic diversity in the area. The predominantly older, white congregations of St. Patrick's Episcopal Church and St. Paul's Episcopal Church are now expanding to include many African and Asian immigrants. St. Paul's has a new Vietnamese minister and has changed its name to St. Patrick's Episcopal Church (Anglo-Vietnamese). When Holy Cross Korean Episcopal Church lost the space it shared with an Arlington church, St. Paul's invited its congregation to use its building. All three are collaborating on a Lenten concert in April.
