...use it or lose it.

There are few urban parishes in the country that is not "underutilized", from a developer's point of view. That church sanctuary looks like a great place to put dumpsters. After all, it is only used once a week for a couple hours. Those folks could just as well rent a meeting room down at the Ramada...

The thing is, is that a lot of churches are used more than is realised during the week. Just because it doesn't LOOK like it's being used because there is not a steady stream of people coming and going all the time doesn't mean a thing. There are TWO congregations using that church, which is pretty good. I'd also hazard a guess that they have a food pantry and offer counseling to people. They do a lot more good for a community than is evidenced by their apparent lack of busyness.
