From West Virginia-
The Mt. Zion Episcopal Church in Hedgesville is being attacked by changes after almost 300 years of purity.
Church members who have been members of this church their entire lives as well as their families have left the church, some voluntarily out of disgust, some not so voluntarily.
The old members who have maintained this church for decades, following in the steps of generations of their ancestors, have been pushed out by a few faces of Mt. Zion.
The bottom line is money is the root of all evil.
In January of 1994, Hilda Lingamfelter revised her will after her sister Georgeanna Seibert passed away. Both of these women loved Mt. Zion Church and wanted it to be preserved forever, since their ancestors had helped to build this church
