200 Gather, Pray that NYC Churches Will Not Face Eviction
Some two hundred people gathered Monday night at Calvary Baptist Church in New York City. Their purpose? To pray that local area churches will not be evicted by the city as a result of a new policy.
As we’ve said before, in places like New York, where real estate is both scarce and expensive, churches often obtain permits to hold meetings in schools outside of school hours.
