Evening prayer service to be held at closed church
A candlelight prayer service is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday outside the former St. James Catholic Church in Kansas, Ohio.The event will mark the one-year anniversary of the day when parishioners were forced to end their prayer vigil inside the church, which was closed by Toledo Catholic Diocese as part of a major realignment of parishes in 2005. About 75 members had participated in an around-the-clock prayer vigil in the church for 10 months in hopes that Bishop Leonard Blair would change his mind and allow the church to reopen. But the diocese locked the doors in March, 2006, citing insurance concerns.
It still tickles me when I read that the way to address an insurance concern is to hire someone to go scare the living daylights out of an elderly woman, and lock the insured property so that nobody has the ability to care for it and protect it from decay.
