From a letter to the editor in today’s local paper:
On behalf of the Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy, we would like to congratulate Mayor Keith Summey and North Charleston on the city’s beautiful new building. It is a fitting home for a growing, prosperous city.
We are delighted to be moving into space provided by the city in this wonderful facility. Our new home will not only allow us to use our resources to better serve the community, it will also allow us to be in a prime location near I-26 and I-526 and, therefore, to provide even faster response to citizens and emergency personnel when unexpected tragedies occur.
For 19 years our landlords have been Sandra Lempesis and the Detreville Law Firm, and we will miss seeing them every day.
The public will have no problem reaching us during our transition from one address to the other. Michael Leibowitz and Call Experts will answer emergency calls to 843-724-1212 and ensure that they are delivered promptly to a chaplain, as they have done since 1990.
The Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy is eager to continue providing counseling and support to people during crisis situations. Many thanks to the city of North Charleston for providing us with our new home.
