The Diocese of Connecticut has sold a former church in the town of Avon to local Muslims for a worship and community center, a move celebrated by both parties as promoting interfaith harmony, but denounced by others in The Episcopal Church. The property, unused for two years, went for $1.1 million. (diocesan photo via Episcopal News Service)
