2007 was a year of transition

[The Sun Chronicle] 29 Dec 2007--The area's faith communities saw change, transition and fresh connections in the past year, and also some throwbacks to the past.

The biggest local story was a reflection of a global one, the growing division in the Anglican Communion.

That was manifested here when All Saints parish in Attleboro became two separate congregations after conservative members broke away from the national Episcopal Church and left the parish buildings on North Main Street.

Operating as All Saints Anglican, they at first worshipped in rented space, then bought the former Hebron United Methodist Church on South Main Street near the Seekonk line and began major renovations that is bringing fresh vitality to the building.
