St. Paul’s PC dismissed w/ Property, No money!

St. Paul's Presbyterian Church, Somerset, PA (A-33) was dismissed with their property by the Presbytery of Redstone, 48-41. They voted to request dismissal on Dec 16, 2007 by a congregational vote of 173-10 to EPC. Of the 10 that voted NO, only 2 wanted to stay with PCUSA.

UPDATE: Presbyweb reports that motions for restitution and postponement were defeated. Editor: I was disappointed by the reported attitudes of Rev. Keith Conover and the COM chair Rev. Martin Ankrum. Greed and Idol worship do not belong in Christian behaviour.

Church members have considered building a new building or expanding the current one. There also have been talks of joining with the Somerset Anglican Fellowship, formerly part of St. Francis-in-the-Fields Episcopal Church.
