I can’t figure out why it’s considered news in a couple of different Connecticut news outlets that a church is going to rent space in the local high school in West Hartford. Time was when these kinds of arrangements were common. In the current environment, even a town as relatively well-heeled as West Hartford should appreciate picking up $900 a week.
On the other hand, I’ve heard of some municipalities being hostile to the idea on ideological grounds. You know, it would be unconstitutional to rent vacant property on a weekend to a church. Or something like that. When that happens (and it does) it usually doesn’t make news because the folks running the church usually go quietly away so as to maintain friendly relations with the town fathers and the rest of their neighbors.
In any case, I’m glad that there are growing churches in the Capital area. More here.
