“At Bungonia ‘the church is a poor temporary structure.’ The Bishop proceeds: ‘As the only means in my power of giving more stability to the present building in which Divine Service is celebrated, I took upon myself the cost of adding a porch and vestry, to be substantially built of brick; and will add a chancel also as soon as there are funds at my disposal to meet the expense.’ (p. 22.) Now it is satisfactory to find a chancel mentioned, even if it means no more than a sacrarium, and although it is reckoned as less worthy than a porch and vestry.”
