From Georgia-Members of a church congregation who lost a fight to worship in their longtime home now face a battle over the location of their new sanctuary.
Christ Church Anglican, established by a group that separated from Savannah’s historic Christ Church five years ago over “profound and irreconcilable theological differences” plans to build a sanctuary and parish hall on the northeast corner of Drayton and 37th streets.
Church representatives obtained three of four variance requests for the project Thursday from the Zoning Board of Appeals.
The hearing was contentious, however. The plans pitted church members against neighborhood residents — and neighbors against neighbors in some instances. The project faces additional review by the staff of the Metropolitan Planning Commission and the Savannah city manager's office and could be subject to additional public hearings before construction can begin.
