From Maryland-
Gathering before a makeshift altar Sunday morning, parishioners of St. Paul’s By The Sea worshiped together for the first time since a fire took the life of their pastor and damaged their church.
Tears, smiles and hugs mingled at the hour-long service officiated by the Right Rev. James J. Shand, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Easton. About 150 congregants attended the service held in the Town Council chambers at City Hall across the street from St. Paul’s.
Many wore orange or pinned orange ribbons to their chests in a tribute to the Rev. David Dingwall, who died in Tuesday’s fire. Orange was his favorite color, Shand said.
