This blog is about more than General Convention. So back in RI, parishes will happy to read this report I've just received from the Peggy Mcnie of the Rhode Island Council of Churches.
The Rhode Island House of Representatives unanimously passed the Fire Code Legislation yesterday (Wednesday). The bill is a duplicate of the bill the Senate passed a few weeks ago. The only step to go is the governor’s signature on the legislation. The Governor has given his assurance that he will approve the legislation as soon as it gets to his desk.
It looks like the efforts of all the churches of Rhode Island will soon be realized. Once churches are defined in a separate category, the final task will be for the Fire Code Safety Board of Review to create fire safety rules that provide for a safe environment for all the occupants of our churches and prevent large expenditures that will seriously affect the viability of many churches.
