Union of Two Washington Churches Clears Path for Jewish Synagogue
A presbytery meeting at Assembly's Church in Washington will finalize the union of the Old Assembly's and North Church congregations. The old building is to be sold for 325,000 and a Jewish synagogue will occupy the former site. Dr. George P. Wilson will lead the united church, now about 100 in number, with the transfer of allegiance to North Church and a new shared governance. The process ends years of dissension sparked since May and follows the decision to vacate the Assembly's building for a sacred neighborhood shift.
