[Sundaycommunity] James Callan - Rochester - Obituary - Renegade Priest helped establish an independent church

[Sheila Barrrett]

Thank you for this obituary. Although we didn’t know him, we can see how inspired he was and true to his beliefs. We had a dear priest friend who suffered in a similar way. He wasn’t excommunicated but he was a thorn in the flesh of the hierarchy.
