Split in two

[The Colorado Springs Independent] 31 May 2007--As a Colorado Springs church congregation finalized its split on Sunday, feelings of elation, not bitterness, ruled.

There was triumphant, vivacious Anglican singing, even rare applause, in the historic Grace Church and St. Stephen's Parish at 601 N. Tejon St.

Three blocks away at First Christian Church, there was glee and festivity among exiled Episcopalians.

This is the way Pentecost, a celebration of the birth of the Christian church, should be embraced, according to both sides of what once was Colorado's largest Episcopal congregation.
