The Greater Macedonia Church building on Alexander Street in downtown Charlesston is for sale. So is the Mount Carmel AME Church building on Rutledge Avenue. The old Zion-Olivet Presbyterian Church at the end of Cannon Street sits empty.
The congregation of Plymouth Congregational Church has relocated to the West Ashley area of Charleston. Shiloh AME Church is moving, too.
The Charleston peninsula is losing churches, even as new residents stream into the three-county metropolitan area.
Other religious institutions downtown are managing to hang on, even thrive, in this dynamic period of change.
Read it all from the local paper.
