VirtueOnline - News - Exclusives - CONNECTICUT: Bishop Inherits the Whirlwind of an Empty Bishop Seabury Parish:


He got an empty building for his legal troubles and a hefty legal bill to go with it. Not a single soul has stayed with the parish, the Diocese of Connecticut or its ultra-liberal Bishop Ian Douglas. A strong, active, vibrant evangelical church used the building to raise holy hands to God. The Gospel was being preached and the Sacraments were being celebrated. But that wasn't good enough. A deal could not be cut, so the bishop got the building.

Now Bishop Douglas has an empty church; he does not know what to do with it. Who is the winner here, asks Fr. Ron Gauss. PA Bishop Charles Bennison let it drop recently that it can cost $55,000 and up just to maintain an empty church...and he has nine of them.
