My family always went to church on Easter - my sisters in their new dresses and patent leather shoes, and me in a shirt stiff with starch and shoes with a fresh coat of polish.

The Rev. Frank Logue, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Georgia, compared a church to a rescue operation for lost souls Wednesday at the groundbreaking Holy Nativity Episcopal Church's building expansion project. His allegory started with a small fishing village on a rough coastline that saw many shipwrecks. Inhabitants of that village spent a good portion of their time rescuing people, and as the story of their deeds spread, many more people sought them out and came to live there.

To an average listener it would seem like a series of coincidences connected the late Kathleen Coleman with St. Mark's Episcopal Church and ultimately Morningstar Children & Family Services. Her nephew Tommy Branch and others who celebrated her memory at a residential hall for boys that now bears her name know otherwise. Originally built in the 1940s, the Coleman Cottage has rooms for 14 boys and looks brand new throughout due to a donation from her estate.
