Church renames itself, pledges to retain its mission

[CentralOhio.com] 9 Apr 2008--In 2004, the Rev. Rick Terry broke away from the Episcopal Church to lead people closer to Bible teachings within a new church, and now his church's name reflects that "shepherding."

Terry's church has been known as Chillicothe Anglican Fellowship for the past four years, but now proudly proclaims the moniker Good Shepherd Anglican Church.

The name change is a result of two factors. First, people not familiar with church vernacular don't necessarily relate fellowship as being a sanctioned church. Second, the word shepherd reflects the scripture and Jesus, Terry said.
