I went to a synagogue this weekend – and a church as well.

My colleagues and I attended two community meetings Saturday morning.

 

The Forest Park Golf Course Neighbors met first in the Pratt Library branch on Garrison Avenue.

 

Then we walked across the street to the Wayland Baptist Church.

 

We met with the WWFF-BOC Neighborhood Association in the chapel in the church basement.

 

“My father was Bar Mitzvah here when it was Beth Tfiloh,” I said to Delegate Angie Gibson.

 

Each of the pews still had a six-pointed Jewish star.

 

“The church made a decision to keep these pews,” I told the community members, “to remember who had come here to pray before them and to improve the world for those who would come after them. “
