from an article in usa today (2.19.02)...in 2 year they increased from 3,500 to 5,000 (that is the latest count, correct?) The other huge congregation here is Christ Church. Pastor David Ireland founded it in 1986 with six people after having a vision of racial reconciliation one night in an Irvington, N.J., supermarket. Now 3,500 people, many from out of town, come each Sunday to pack three services in the downtown church of stained glass and cream-streaked turquoise marble. Although a third of the church staff and pastoral team are non-black, Ireland is falling short of his own goal of racial diversity: Only 15% of the congregation is white. Those who come get "Bible-believing" fundamentalism packaged for the media age: professional-level musical performances, sermons keyed to best sellers or financial management and admonitions against adultery and homosexuality. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2002/02/19/nation-divided-montclair.htm
Thank goodness he's chosen RT, I have been waiting for someone to save me. Now if I could only sell my home in tranquil WML and move to the charmed urban mess that Montclair is I would truly be happy.
