MacBride's father led the Irish brigade that fought against the British in the Boer War, was later executed by the British for his part in Ireland's famous Easter Rising of 1916. MacBride's mother was the legendary Maud Gonne, heroine of Ireland's revolt and of Poet W. B. Yeats, who called her "a phoenix in my youth." MacBride spent his own youth bombing British armored cars, commanded the outlaw Irish Republican Army while studying and practicing law in the 1930s.

And it is just this premise that has spurred some...

But the great majority of the four congregations liked the compromise forms and the experience of worshiping together in a large group. Except on Easter Sunday, attendance seldom averaged more than 25 for each of Schellsburg's four churches; now there is a regular congregation of 130 at the new church, including some families that previously belonged to no church...
