From New Jersey-
Once there were two Christ Episcopal Churches in Camden County — one in West Collingswood and the other here. On Saturday, the two became one as a newly built church on Evesham Avenue was dedicated and consecrated during a special ceremony.
Unlike the forced closings and mergers that have taken place over the last couple years at Roman Catholic churches throughout the Diocese of Camden, this unification was a voluntary one.
“The (merger) process began in 2008,” said Pastor Robert Critelli. “The resources of both churches were failing. So we came together as one people and realized we needed to look to the future.”
It was decided that the Collingswood property, assessed at $478,000, would be put up for sale, said Critelli.
“It sold in three days,” he said.
