From Georgia-
Christ Church on Johnson Square on Monday was quietly returned to its Episcopal congregation after a four-year absence.
The noon handoff of keys to the church completed an agreement reached Dec. 1 between the break-away congregation, Christ Church Anglican, which agreed to return possession of the property to Christ Church Episcopal in accordance with a Nov. 21 Georgia Supreme Court ruling for the Episcopal group. They asked to have until noon yesterday to comply.
The actual handoff of keys between the top two members of the church’s governing board, senior warden Mimi Jones and junior warden Margaret Miller with Christ Church Episcopal, and Joan Malley, parish administrator of the departing congregation, was followed by prayer with the Rev. Michael White, Diocesan spokesman, the Rev. Frank Logue, said.
He described Malley as being helpful with the maintenance of records and other documents for the quiet exchange.
