St. Hilda's Inman Park, in a neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia, is a parish of the Diocese of the South in the Anglican Catholic Church. The building was originally built in 1939 as a Primitive Baptist Church. [1] It was converted to be a parish of the newly formed Anglican Catholic Church in 1978, [2] and was consecrated in 1979. [3]

When Rev. Frederick Hoger was Rector, until his death in 1999, the parish established a men's shelter and a soup kitchen for the local community in Little Five Points. [4]

In 2000, Rev. John Roddy became the pastor. At that time, the neighborhood gentrified. While previously the parish had had a strong ministry to the homeless, who slept in the pews and ate in the parish hall, the neighborhood changed to that of largely young professionals. [2]

In 2023, the Anglican Catholic Church through the Saint Paul Mission Society targeted St. Hilda's for domestic parish revitalization. [5] Rev. Creighton McElveen, SSC, was appointed Priest-in-Charge after the retirement of Rev. Terrence Hall. [6] Rev. McElveen is also a co-host of the podcast, The Sacramentalists. [7]
