We write this letter in response to the March 10 article by Ellen Driscoll, in which CAMP Rehoboth Youth Coordinator Barbara L. Antlitz noted that “the majority of Christians . . . support equality for LGBTQ people, including the Episcopal Church, the United Methodist Church, the United Church of Christ and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.”
To that we say, “Amen!” and we want to add our denomination, the Presbyterian Church (USA), to Antlitz’s list. Not every Presbyterian Church in the Cape Region is PC(USA), but both Westminster Presbyterian Church and Coolspring Presbyterian Church are, and we stand with our denomination’s full support for and celebration of people of diverse gender identities and sexual orientations. We welcome all people to join our communities of faith in worship, fellowship, and service.

With many projects involving historic structures, the work turns out to be more than first imagined.
Such is the case with the ongoing exterior renovation of Coolspring Presbyterian Church on Log Cabin Hill Road west of Lewes.
The Greek Revival architecture-style church, built in 1854, is on the site of two previous churches dating back to 1726, making it one of the oldest houses of worship in the region.
As the church nears its 300th anniversary, one of the projects that church members agreed on was a major paint job for the exterior.
Unfortunately, the previous paint was latex and not oil-based, said Rick Bailey, owner of Coastal Colors, who has taken on the job as a mission. The choice of paint, unrelenting sun baking the outside and the age of the cypress shingles combined to form a perfect storm.
