Original: Former Long Island church to be sold for $11.8 million as two nearby congregations merge
A church building on Long Island is being sold for $11.8 million, with proceeds connected to the merger of two nearby congregations. The sale, reported by Episcopal News Service, marks the end of the property's use as an active church and reflects ongoing consolidation among congregations facing declining membership and rising costs of maintaining aging buildings.
Why now: The sale of a large religious property and the merger of congregations highlights broader declines in church attendance and consolidation among mainline denominations.
