St. (Christopher’s Dedication
The Rt. Rev. Bennett Jones Sims, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta, led the congregation of St. Christopher’s
Church in procession to the entrance for the Service of Dedication and Consecration of their building this past Sunday. Above
he is shown making the sign of the cross across the entrance way. Other leaders of the service shown in the picture are Milo
B. Medfock, Senior Warden of the parish, and the Vicar, the Rev. Thomas L. Arledge, Jr. This was a joyous occasion for the
people of St. Christopher's culminating an offering of their building to God which was begun fifteen years ago. The first
services of public worship were held in the present facility on October2l, 1962. In the Episcopal Church it is the practice to
Consecrate their budding only after ad financial debts have been paid. Another part of Bishop Sims' visit included the
laying-on-of-hands in the service of Confirmation for three young people of the parish. These were Elizabeth Ashley Arledge,
Maribeth Austin Helm, and Eden Amelia Meyer. Visitors from a number of churches in the area joined with the people of St.
Christopher's for this event. A reception was held for the Bishop, the new communicants, and the visitors following the
service.
