A congratulatory cheer to the congregation of All Saints Anglican Church, which recently moved into its new sanctuary on Haine School Road in Cranberry Township.

The former New Life Anglican Church — and before that, St. Christopher's Episcopal Church in Cranberry — split away from the Pittsburgh Episcopal Diocese in 2010 over a growing rift in ideology and doctrine. All Saints is affiliated with the conservative Anglican Church in North America, led by Archbishop Robert Duncan of Pittsburgh.

With the split, the congregation lost its home, which was diocesan property. It took refuge in the former St. Killian Catholic Church building in Mars.

Since the split, the congregation has been on an exodus of identity, defining primarily what it wasn't — namely, not an affiliate of the diocese it regarded as untolerably liberal and not bound by its controlling doctrines.

With its new home, All Saints Anglican can get down the business of defining what it is — and where it is, too.

“This is a homecoming for us because we are very happy to be back in Cranberry Township,” said the Rev. Paul Cooper, rector of All Saints and the Moses who led the congregation through its exodus. “We are starting over in a way and we are not afraid of that. ... We're in a place now where we can be who we are and take a neighborhood identity.”

Welcome home, All Saints. May you prosper in your new sanctuary.

Jeers to Pennsylvania's environmental regulators, who apparently were caught off guard by Freedom Industries' intent to ship crude MCHM to a site in Pennsylvania without any public notification.The toxic chemical — its full name is 4-methylcyclohexane methanol — which is used to wash coal, spilled recently into the Elk River, fouling the water supply for several days for 300,000 West Virginia residents. They were advised not to drink, cook, launder or bathe with the tainted water.Touching or ingesting MCHM can cause nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, diarrhea, rashes and other skin irritations.The parent company of Freedom Industries, which was responsible for the spill, was planning to move 3,500 gallons of crude MCHM to a coal facility in Pennsylvania, according to the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection.The company also operates Rosebud Mining Co. in Kittanning, but it has not acknowledged where or even if the MCHM is being shipped.The alarming point is that a mining operator can transport this toxic chemical without any regulatory oversight or public notice. The coal-washing substance is potent enough that a spill prevented hundreds of thousands of West Virginians from drinking, laundering or bathing for several days, and yet it can be transported and stored in Pennsylvania without the knowledge of the Department of Environmental Protection.That doesn't wash.

It had to be difficult for the CVS Pharmacy chain to do the right thing — to announce this past week that it would cease selling all tobacco products.Financially, the move doesn't make much sense. Cigarettes are an easy sell to customers with the nicotene habit — a habit which, by the way, makes them regular customers.Smokers are good for business, when you consider they buy teeth whiteners and breath fresheners, as well as cosmetics for faces blemished by routine exposure to tobacco smoke, over the counter treatments for chronic cough and sinus issues, and — at least around every New Year — smoke-cessation aids for those who try to quit.All those other products, and the guarantee of increased foot traffic from tobacco sales, must have weighed heavily on the change in CVS policy.But in the end, a no-tobacco pharmacy sends the correct message: this product doesn't belong here because it tarnishes our image and goes against our mission of improving peoples' lives.And yes, smokers and chewers and dippers will go elsewhere for the smokes, chaw and snuff.Let them go. And let those who still sell tobacco deal with their own image and ethics issues.
