The Anglican Provence of Christ the King has helped its Parish in Manchester, Connecticut purchase a Church and Rectory. This traditional parish separated from the "old" Episcopal teaching (homo)and was "kicked" out of its church. Now, thanks to all Anglicans that helped, the homo's can have an empty church and rectory.
I wonder how many of us are APCK.
They left ECUSA (for APCK), and there were too few left in ECUSA to support the historic old building. But ECUSA would not sell the building to the APCK parish; it eventually went to a fellow who turned it into an upscale Chinese restaurant, with a nightclub in the basement. (By law they had to preserve the exterior of the building.)
It took five years but the operation finally went bust (to the relief of the police!); perhaps people felt uncomfortable eating in a former church. The local university wanted to buy it, but it didn't meet their earthquake codes. So the APCK parish was finally able to buy it, for less than what they would have had to spend before.
Aside: one of the priests there is also a carpenter. He said that when they started pulling off the interior facades, they found little crosses hidden behind the facades and elsewhere, apparently left by the workmen who remodeled the church into the Chinese restaurant.
