This is a wonderful story about the history of Lafayette Square - the future home of our new church. I love the fact that the people who built up this community and saved it from literal wreckage did so in the face of "reasons" that it wouldn't work. There is a lesson here that constructive activities are not always recognized as valuable by "the powers that be" or by a middle-class-hold-onto-everything-very-carefully mindset. This history is part of the reason why it is such an honor to have the opportunity to be part of this special community. Enjoy!
