Church moved to Chapel Hill for new congregationCHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — An Episcopal congregation in Chapel Hill hopes to celebrate its 10th anniversary in a building that just arrived from its historic spot outside Winston-Salem. The News & Observer of Raleigh reported (http://bit.ly/VqmEvV) the 121-year-old St. Philip's Episcopal Church left Germanton on Nov. 29 and arrived Saturday in Chapel Hill. It will now be the Episcopal Church of the advocate, serving a 9-year-old congregation. St. Philip's was completed in 1891. Its congregation disbanded in 1980, and about a year ago leaders of the Episcopal diocese in Raleigh made the building available to the Church of the Advocate. A campaign to keep St. Philip's on its historic site failed. It will likely be next summer before the Church of the Advocate can hold its first service in the building. ___ Information from: The News & Observer, http://www.newsobserver.com |
