Growing congregations are prompting some parishes in the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth to seek bigger spaces for worship and Sunday school classes.
Three parishes that were displaced after some congregations realigned themselves with the Anglican Province of the Southern Cone in November have outgrown their temporary spaces, said Katie Sherrod, diocese spokeswoman.
On Sunday, St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Hurst will begin holding services at the Northeast Wedding Chapel, 1843 Precinct Line Road in Hurst. They had been meeting at the Oak Crest Woman’s Club in Hurst.
In Wichita Falls, All Saints Episcopal Church and the Church of the Good Shepherd, which had been meeting in a hospital chapel, will worship at the Arc, 3115 Buchanan St. in Wichita Falls.
In other news, the Rt. Rev. Edwin F. "Ted" Gulick Jr. will extend an initial six-month term as provisional bishop for the Fort Worth Diocese at least until mid-November. Gulick divides his time between the Episcopal Diocese of Kentucky and the Fort Worth Diocese.
