Error Parsing Feed XML error and Item requested not available in US Store

Question

Here is my feed:
http://www.fccetown.com/mp3/podcastfeed/podcast.xml
It validates with no errors through the Feed Validator, however when I submit the podcast I
receive the following error:
Error parsing feed: Invalid XML : Error on line 86: The element type "link" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</link"
I defined the link like this so I do  not understand:
<link>http://www.fccetown.com</link>
I also tested the feed by Subscribing to the podcast and when I click on the link to the podcast from our web page I get the following but the proper feed is displayed:
Item Not Displayed
The Item You Requested is not available in the US Store.
I set the language tag like this so I do not understand:
<language>en-us</language>
This is the link on our webpage to the podcast:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/first-christian-church-elizabethtown/id26114 0517
When I try to search from the Podcast Store with First Christian Church - Elizabethtown
it returns the following episode:
<item>
  <title>A View from the Throne</title>
<description>
</description>
  <pubDate>Sun, 05 Oct 2008 09:00:19 -0400</pubDate>
  <enclosure url="http://fccetown.com/mp3/20081005StuartJonesTheViewfromtheThrone.mp3" length="14333072" type="audio/mpeg" />
  <guid isPermaLink="false">a-view-from-the-throne</guid>
  <itunes:author>Stuart Jones</itunes:author>
  <itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit>
  <itunes:duration>29:51</itunes:duration>
  </item>
If you can explain that one please let me know.
I am confused by all of these errors.
Please let me know how to proceed.
Thanks,
Don Hobbs

You give two feed URLs: in neither case is there a file present on the server. You say you changed the feed: did you place the 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag in the old feed to redirect iTunes? In any case since there is no file present in either case the Store would be unable to read the feed and your podcast appears to have been removed from the Store as a consequence.
You will now need to start again from scratch: once you have a working feed you will have to submit it as an entirely new podcast. You will need to change the title slightly or you will be told it has already been submitted.
Before submitting you should check that your feed works by subscribing to it manually in iTunes, from the File menu in v11 or the Advanced menu in earlier versions.
