I think that the dynamic of store front churches has changed the city. It seems that the variety of places to practice one’s religion has caused a buildup of these sites. I would love to see if any competition exists among the churches.

I think that it’s amazing that people have so many choices to choose from. I was raised in a Catholic church and it seems to be closing and there are not many places for people to worship. Attendance has significantly declined so there is no means to support the church.

If you take the 15 or the 55 bus in the Bronx you will find the same situation. There are churches located next to each other, separated like you said by a wall. They are mostly small churches and maybe if they combine they might be able reach the community more effectively; but that might not be a conceivable possibility because most churches have different beliefs and doctrines.I grew up in a country where there is said to be a church every square mile.
