[The Living Church] November 22, 2005--It was relatively easy on Nov. 19 for the Rochester diocesan convention to declare a viable parish that claims 91 members “extinct.” But when the Rt. Rev. Jack McKelvey arrived two days later at All Saints’ Church in Irondequoit, N.Y., to collect the keys to the property, the parish’s lawyer informed Bishop McKelvey that he would not be turning over the keys that day “or at any time.”
