I think that this is a beautiful building and wonderful addition to the Harlem Community. Unfortunately as always the price of progress must be borne by the poor and ignorant. If manhatten Island was purchased for just a few buttons, then the property on which this building is sitting was purchased for peanuts. I was in the initial meeting between Mr Joseph Holland and the church held at Emanuel Pentecostal Faith Church 1310 Elder Av, Bronx NY. I also was the only member who disented with the proposal. At the risk of sounding like sour grapes I say I am deeply hurt and saddened that the church is still struggling to be errected and completed while the developers are I am sure very pleased with themselves. My only consulation is that God never sleeps and that there is a day of reckoning when the thoughts of every heart will be revealed. Until then I honestly obey Jesus when He commanded "I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. NKJV What a comforting word to those members of the Mt Calvary Pentecostal Faith Church and the entire body of The Pentecostal Faith Church spread abroad. [less]
