Bishop's pending sale of O.C. church leaves congregation locked out

Though St. James the Great Episcopal Church parishioners won't be meeting in their longtime house of worship Sunday, it doesn't mean they won't be having a service.

The group, led by the Rev. Canon Cindy Evans Voorhees, plans to have its usual Sunday service on the sidewalk outside the 70-year-old Newport Beach church.

On Thursday morning, about 50 parishioners stood in front of the locked white gates barring them from entering the building. They were there to show support for their congregation and voice opposition to Bishop J. Jon Bruno's plan to sell the property to a developer.
