CULTURE: The Abyssinian Baptist Church
H A R L E M + B E S P O K E
The iconic Harlem house of worship gets a rap on the knuckles over its choice of friends.
The church would become the most powerful Baptist church in the city and has since used its coffers to acquire property in the past several decades. New malls by controversial developer Bruce Ratner, favoritism to large scale construction with disregard to historic conservation, and the neglect of the Renaissance Ballroom has spurred some criticism on the direction of the church's future.
