Departure Bittersweet for Member of The Falls Church Anglican

In 1985 Deiss, parish administrator for the last 16 years, wed his second wife in the church. His son also married there. He watched the baptism of his grandchildren inside the church.
Now the Anglican congregation has been asked to leave the premises.
"It was always a possibility but we didn't think it would actually happen," Deiss said Friday. "It's sad but exciting as well."
