From Binghamton NY-
It could be one of the last times a hymn is played by members Church of the Good Shepherd.
"It feels very empty here already. I don't know something feels like it's gone," said parishioner Micah Towery.
Parishioners have been packing and moving out of the Conklin Avenue church since Thursday night. Good Shepherd severed ties with the Episcopal Diocese when the Diocese began to condone gay marriage. The Episcopal Church then sued to get Good Shepherd off their property, which was backed by a recent Supreme Court decision.
"Say you know that a relative is going to die. You might know that and come to terms with that. But when it actually happens, it's still very sad. And I think that's where everyone is at this point," said Father Matthew Kennedy, Senior Pastor at Good Shepherd.
