When the Rev. Steven Kelly arrived at St. John's Episcopal Church in Detroit a decade ago, there were only about 50 members left at the historic congregation.
But today, there are almost 200 who attend the oldest church building on Woodward Avenue, built in 1859, a Victorian Gothic structure that sits next to Comerica Park and across the street from the Fox Theatre. The revival of the area around the church coupled with its unique services --traditional Anglican rituals -- have brought back a house of worship that was fading into history.
