King of Peace in Spartanburg, SC is in foreclosure. They have set up a website to help get the mortgage retired before a December 2009 deadline and the project is aptly called The Goliath Project with the site here: http://goliathproject2009.webs.com/
Let me state plainly that this is posted more as a news item – not to mock what I’m sure is a very serious challenge facing this church. I will say that this is a sad commentary on how the financial crisis has forced lending institutions to foreclose on homes, farms and now churches for an influx of capital.

This was news to me but David Kyle Foster left CEC for Calvary Chapel. He was interviewed by David Virtue and was asked about his transfer of ordination from CEC to Calvary Chapel. Question and answer is below. The entire interview is here.
VOL: You were ordained a priest in the Charismatic Episcopal Church in 1995 and appointed a “Canon” in 1997, serving at the Cathedral in Jacksonville, Florida. In 2005, you returned to the Nashville, TN area and in 2008 transferred your ordination to Grace Chapel (Calvary Chapel) near your home. What made you leave the CEC for a non-denominational church?
FOSTER: I have tried to follow the voice of the Holy Spirit in every major decision of my life as a believer. Some years ago, I wrote an article (A Tour of Christendom) about my journey through the body of Christ that will provide a much more detailed picture of my ecclesiastical movements in life and the reasons behind them. http://www.masteringlife.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=49:a-tour-of-christendom&catid=36:comparative-religion&Itemid=29
This latest change was a big surprise. I am at the age now where settling into one place for the duration is the most comfortable choice to make. But when the Lord brought me back to Nashville (where there is no CEC church) in 2005 to produce our TV program, I was left to pick a church or plant one and having no time to plant one, I started attending Grace Chapel (www.gracechapel.net) and absolutely fell in love with it. After a couple of years, it just seemed like the obvious thing to do.
