"After battling for years over the fate of the 116 year-old church, today we have saved a great building. But we've also preserved a spiritual and everyday landmark for our neighborhood, protecting not only architecture, but history, heritage, and quality of life." ~ City Council Member Gale A. Brewer.
Remarks by the Landmarks Preservation Commissioners:
"This church is a sculpture given to us."
"It stops you in your tracks."
"We will work with anyone and everyone to find a new use as we cannot afford to let this church go."

A Sampling of Community Responses to LW!:
"Hallelujah! Congratulations all around--and Excelsior"
"It was a long, hard fight, and I hope the next steps of repair and restoration turn out as well."
"Your grassroots persistent insistence triumphs again"
"Congratulations...for sticking to it."
"What an achievement!"
"Well done!"
"THREE CHEERS!"
