The following information about the church is from the
Ship of Fools website:
The church: St Andrew's, Gainesville, Florida.
Denomination: Episcopal Missionary Church (separated from the main Episcopal Church of the USA in 1992).
The building: St Andrew's has a traditional frame exterior, set back in a wooded lot. Inside the church is very utilitarian with a plain wooden altar against the front wall, linoleum floors and moveable seating. I believe the church was only completed in the last few months, so perhaps some decorative touches are in the works.
The church: A real cross-section of ages with a healthy 20s and 30s component. Not just the snow-white heads that sometimes seem to dominate our churches.
The neighbourhood: Rather dull area of middle-class subdivisions and small office parks.
The cast: The celebrant and preacher was the Rector, Rev. Ronald Kuykendall (Father Ron), assisted by Dr Jack Hurse, deacon, and two teen-aged servers.
