[Charleston Dialy Mail] 19 Dec 2007--Four local Episcopal churches are merging into one congregation.

The churches include All Saints Episcopal in South Charleston, St. James Episcopal in North Charleston, St. Luke's Episcopal on the West Side, and Church of the Good Shepherd in Kanawha City.

The newly formed church will be called St. Christopher Episcopal and will be housed in the St. Luke's building, 821 Somerset Drive on Charleston's West Side.

Mergers seldom produce strong healthy congregations.
