Rhode Island churches to vote on merge


From Rhode Island (video)

Some Rhode Island Episcopal church parishioners are not happy about a possible merger.

Financial struggles are forcing Christ Church Parish in Lincoln and Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Cumberland to consider the move.

The Christ Church has a bigger congregation, but would move into Emmanuel because that building is in better shape.

Christ Church parishioners say they've raised money to try to keep their church open and aren't happy about the situation.

Both congregations will vote January 30.
