Chinese Restaurant to Open in Historic Church
It has been a notorious nightclub, The Limelight, where drugs and irresponsible relations were traded, purchased, and encouraged; it's been a clothing store and a gymnasium, too. But, once upon a time, this parish transformed how the Episcopal Church framed ministry in the 19th and 20th centuries and gave us many of the practices that we now consider standard.
A profile of its singular rector, William Augustus Muelenberg, may be found on another page of The Coracle. Other appropriate links appear below.
