UMC Rev. Donald Paige dies at 91

In today's Globe, Gloria Negri describes the dedication of the Rev. Donald Paige, the longest-serving preacher in the New England conference of the United Methodist Church, in the obituary:

"The last of those years of service was at the Church of St. Alban in Lynn, the former All Saints Church he attended as a boy, said its vicar, the Rev. Evan Mwangi, who said Rev. Paige helped him out and gave sermons until last year. Rev. Paige was so determined to continue his clerical duties, said his son and daughter-in-law, Jerome and Janet Paige of Danvers, that he recently had them carry him up the steps of St. Alban."
