Ministers Fight For Pulpit Spot In Gotham Church
A New York State Supreme Court justice refused to bar Rev. William Howard Melish from leading services in Brooklyn at Holy Trinity church. An anti Melish faction sought a temporary injunction, potentially allowing two ministers to conduct services simultaneously. Bishop DeWolfe rejected Melish, installing Rev. Dr. Herman S. Sidener as rector. Melish has led controversy for seven years amid accusations of leftist activities, which he denies.
