From Brooklyn-
A historic church in Bay Ridge where two Confederate Generals once worshiped has made the hard decision to close its doors and merge with a nearby Episcopal parish.
St. John’s Church in Fort Hamilton will close after 180 years of public ministry. The Rev. David Sibley, Priest-in-Charge of St. John’s Church, and the Bishop’s Committee made the announcement last week.
Because St. John’s Church is of great interest to the Bay Ridge and Fort Hamilton community, as well as to Brooklyn history buffs, the parish published a Q&A about the pending closure on its website.
