Protestant Church Rises in Forano Sabina near Rome
An American pastor Rev Angelini with wife Arabella leads a small Protestant community in Forano Sabina, Campagna. The church uses simple worship, a volunteer choir, and a nascent social hall plan with plans for bands and a public granary. Despite local opposition and Rome tribunal friction, the effort has drawn 100 converts in ten years and relies on American fundraising and Italian support.
