Presbyterians drop Montreat church (sort-of)

From the Citizen-times.com story by Leslie Boyd:

• Presbytery of Western North Carolina dismissed Montreat Presbyterian Church from the Presbyterian USA denomination Tuesday.
• The 350-member church will not be allowed to keep its name.
• The property it holds was not part of the decision.
• The governing body also voted to create a “continuing church,” made up of the 27 (8%) members who wanted to stay in the denomination. That continuing church will keep the name.
