Farewell Father Ifeanyi

Sunday, November 25, was Fr. Ifeanyi B. Obiechefu's last service with Saint James Fordham — he has answered a call to serve as associate rector of a parish in Atlantic City, Diocese of New Jersey.

He will be much missed, and we wish him all the best in his new ministry. His departure also marks the end of separate worship services in the Igbo language, held for the last year and a half in the afternoon following the English language liturgy. It is our earnest hope that many who have found Saint James a place of welcome will join in worship with the greater part of the congregation gathered on Sunday mornings to praise God and give thanks for the salvation offered in Jesus Christ, in whom "there is no East or West."
