Deconsecration of St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in St. Paul

Bishop Stephen London led a service for the deconsecration of St. John the Baptist Anglican Church in St. Paul on April 27. London described his first deconsecration of a parish as "an emotional service but also beautiful. It was profound to hear people come to the front and tell stories of what the parish meant to them. That will stay with me."
