[Independent Press] Chatham's Episcopal Church opened its doors and showed off its neighborhood for the bi-annual visit of the Rt. Rev. Mark Beckwith, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Newark, on Sunday, Sept. 7.
Before preaching at the 10 o'clock service, Bishop Beckwith walked with St. Paul's rector, Mary Davis, and the wardens and vestry through the church neighborhood, including local shops and eateries as well as the Library of the Chathams, right next door. The Bishop's sermon focused on the importance of the Christian call to "love your neighbor as yourself" as the church's true mission.
