[Colorado Springs Gazette] 29 Mar 2007--Longtime Episcopalian Jack Scrivner isn’t too worried about where he’ll go to church in the wake of a denomination shake-up at Grace Church and St. Stephen’s Parish.

He’s concerned about where his ashes will be buried.

Beneath a well-tended flower bed in the downtown church’s courtyard are the ashes of his wife, Nancy, who died in November 2003. She and other deceased Episcopalians were put to rest there in a columbarium, a place to collect urns.

Scrivner, 81 and a member of the church for nearly 30 years, plans to be placed beside her when he dies. But with the church’s ownership and leadership in limbo, he fears his resting place may be in jeopardy.
