Washington Post op-ed: "The tragedy to communities when church buildings are demolished to make condos"

Click on the link to read the entire Washington Post op-ed item:

I walk by a brown brick church in my neighborhood every day. On Sunday, the aging but still impressive building will be empty on Easter for the first time in a hundred years. And soon, the building will be converted into luxury condos.

While the impact of gentrification on affordable housing in D.C. and other cities has been a topic of ongoing study and debate, still underappreciated is its impact on a different sort of “housing” — namely, houses of worship. The issue is on my radar because I am the pastor of a church that met in that building until November.

For four years, Grace Meridian Hill was the sole tenant of 3431 13th Street NW, a 100-year-old building formerly owned by Mount Rona Missionary Baptist Church. In 2014, our landlord sold the property to developers. We recently learned the groundbreaking is scheduled for this week.

Note that Bloomingdale’s church building at 2nd and S Street NW is slated to be demolished and replaced by new construction rowhouses.  And note that a historic landmark nomination has been filed for the original church building.

WaPo article on Aaron Rich suing right-wing actvisits over conspiracy theories

Click on the link to read the entire Washington Post article:

The brother of Seth Rich — the Democratic National Committee staffer whose unsolved murder has fueled far-right conspiracy theories — has sued the Washington Times and individual activists, claiming they exploited the tragedy to “advance” their political agendas.

Aaron Rich accuses Ed Butowsky, a wealthy Dallas businessman and a Fox News guest; Internet activist Matt Couch and his media company, America First Media; and the conservative-leaning newspaper the Washington Times of acting with “reckless disregard for the truth,” according to the lawsuit, filed Monday in U.S. District Court in the District of Columbia.

The suit also alleges that the defendants pushed a conspiracy theory about Aaron Rich, suggesting he used his background as a defense contractor to leak documents — and that he covered up the disclosure. Rich is suing the defendants for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy, among other actions.

The 62-page lawsuit was filed nearly two weeks after Seth Rich’s parents sued Fox News and Butowsky over a retracted story that touted a conspiracy theory about their son’s death, claiming the network “intentionally exploited” the tragedy for political purposes.
