Pastor Porter Loses Pulpit in Meriden Breaks with Church
In Meriden on June 13 Rev. W C Andrews, pastor of Parker AME church, took a real job as a gas company porter to fund painting the church. He has been removed, and Rev. W D Francis, student at Livingston College, appointed to succeed. Andrews will continue as porter earning ten dollars weekly, after mixing preaching with lugging duties. The move sparked discontent and lower attendance as members opposed a porter pastor. They rejected plans for a new church and sought a pastor change.
