From Alabama-An Episcopal church that six years ago shut its doors because of a controversy involving an openly gay leader being part of the church’s national leadership will reopen Sunday evening.
While there are about five other Episcopal churches in the community, Julian McPhillips, a founder of Christ the Redeemer who today serves as a lay pastor, is convinced the Vaughn Road church will succeed.
“We want to have a more vigorous praise and worship, a church that emphasizes a healing ministry, and also I think the aspect of being multiracial and multidenominational. We’ll be the only (Episcopal) church on the Eastern Boulevard.
“It has been like invisible hands pushing me along. I think there is a niche here we will fill in many respects.”
