Title

Procession to new building

Description

This New York Times article documents the Church of the Beloved Disciple's public procession through Manhattan to its newly renovated church at 348 West 14th Street. Accompanied by clergy, servers, and processional crosses, the congregation carried the Blessed Sacrament from its previous worship site to its first permanent home, marking a milestone in the history of LGBTQ religious life in New York City. The newspaper's coverage reflects the growing public visibility of the church and its emergence as a recognized presence within both the city's religious landscape and the gay liberation movement.
