Allan, 8th Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta, was keeping an interested eye on the rapid development of a northern suburb known as Johns Creek. He began to think about the Christian souls who were settling there, putting down roots to begin a new life and raise their children in a new city. Where would they worship? How would they express their Christian faith? What could he do meet their needs?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Good Tree\u003c\/em\u003e is the story of a group of parishioners from Saint David's Episcopal Church in Roswell who got together to build a mission church in nearby Alpharetta.
