40 Days, 40 Churches
Day 9: St. James the Great, Wellesley MA
This was the church we probably went to the most in Wellesley, but we never did feel like it was a permanent thing. It was just odd feeling all around, from its location right on Route 9 to the generally low attendance to a soloist who, for all the dodgy church music we've heard, may be the worst one we've encountered.
And yet, when the diocese decided to shut them down, they started a vigil that continues today. As this article notes, they're also pursuing a legal case related to the sale of the property in both the US Supreme Court and an ecclesiastical court at the Vatican. That's a lot of fight for a church that, to me, felt like it wasn't going to make it. Safe to say I may have misjudged them.
