Friends, Episcopal congregations to share place of worship

From Maine-

When we at Winthrop Center Friends Church first heard of the need for St. Andrew’s to move out of their Readfield church building, we had no idea we might become the place to which they would move.

But in retrospect, we see how we were becoming open to such a possibility. When the question came to us in June, it did not take long for us to offer to share our church home.


A small congregation in a large, beautiful building, we had been holding sessions to try to discern our direction for the past two years.


Our location is no longer the prosperous village it was in 1883. Friends have had a faith community in Winthrop since 1793, their first structure was a 16-foot-by-24-foot building opposite our present site.


We have deep roots here but had felt the need to at least consider relinquishing it in favor of a more populous area and a more energy-efficient building.
