This isn't a new addition to the roll of churches here, but rather news about one of them. We formerly posted on this church here some time ago:
Churches of the West: First Presbyterian Church, Casper Wyoming: This Presbyterian Church is located one block away from St. Mark's Episcopal Church and St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church, all of whi...
People who have followed it would be aware that the Presbyterian churches in the United States are undergoing a period of rift, and this church has reflected that. The Presbyterian Church, starting in the 1980s, saw conflict develop between liberal and more conservative elements within it which lead to the formation of the "moderate conservative" EPC. As I'm not greatly familiar with this, I'll only note that the EPC is associated with "New School Presbyterianism" rather than "Old School" and it has adopted the motto "In Essentials, Unity; In Non-Essentials, Liberty; In All Things, Charity. Truth in Love.".
The change in name here is confusing to an outsider in that this church is a member of the EPC, but it's no longer using its original name. As it just passed the centennial of its construction, that's a bit unfortunate in some ways.
We'd also note that the sought set of stairs is now chained off. We're not sure why, but those stairs must no longer be used for access.
