6B RELIGION/^e Cliaclotte $o0t Thursday, June 8,2006 Grace AME Zion sold to preservationists Continued from page 5B Zion Publishing House at 6 South College Street. On August 16,.1887, the Board.of Trustees of Grace Chapel bought a lot on S. Brevard Street (then called “B” Street), the present site of the church, to be used for their own building. The lot, pur chased for $600.00, measured 99 front feet on “B” Street, and was 198 feet deep.” “The building has an inter esting architecture,” Morrill said. “It’s a great building.” But too small for growth at the current church. “We have grown so much and in so many ways over the past few years,” says Anna Kate Davis, chairman of the Trustee Board. “Our current location can no longer meet our growing needs. Our new location provides us the opportunity to build a new sanctuary and supporting campus, continue to grow our congregational membership and to develop outreach pro grams to serve the growing populous in the University area.” Morrill said the future for the uptown church is to stabi lize the building and put it up for sale and in tdie deed it will be a provision so that it won’t be tom down.

Jo Schuda, a. spokeswoman for the Department of Veter ans Affairs in Washington, D.C., said on Friday she did not know when a decision would be made on Roberta Stewart’s request. The Rev. WiHiam G. Chrys- tal, minister of the First Con gregational Church of Reno, and a chaplain of the U.S. Army Reserve, who retired as a major, was scheduled to have delivered the invocation and benediction at Monday’s formal ceremony. “But we are here today at Out of "Ibwn Park, rather than at the Veterans Memori al Cemetery, especially to honor Sgt, Patrick Stewart and others who, though they died for our four freedoms, have yet to receive the bene fits of them all,” he said. He said those four freedoms, identified in a 1941 speech by President Frankhn Roosevelt, are fteedom fix)m want, free dom from fear, freedom of speech and freedom of wor ship. “In Pat’s case especially, may we never tire until all are free to worship as they please and, when the time comes, to rest under the symbol of the faith that sustained them in life and gave them hope in death,” Chrystal said. A wreath in fixint of the stage at the informal ceremo ny contained the Wiccan pen- tacle—a five-pointed star sur rounded by a circle.
