Historic Episcopal Church in Ft. Hamilton Prepares to Close This September
Nicknamed “Church of the Generals,” St. John’s Will Merge with Christ Church to Form New Ministry
A historic church in Bay Ridge in which two Confederate generals once worshiped has made the difficult decision to close its doors and merge with a nearby Episcopal parish.
St. John’s Episcopal Church in Fort Hamilton will close after 180 years of public ministry. The Rev. David Sibley, priest-in-charge of St. John’s Church, and the Bishop’s Committee made the announcement last week in a Q&A document.
