Negro pastor resigns from all white Old Mystic Church
The Rev Simon Peter Montgomery, pastor of the all white Old Mystic Methodist Church in OLD MYSTIC Conn, told the pastoral relations committee to seek a successor. He cited debt and a recent six thousand five hundred dollar improvement as key factors and plans to write a religion book and teach in August. He also serves as chaplain of the Connecticut House, the first Black to hold the post.
