Reverend David Dyson is stepping down after 18 years as pastor at Fort Greene's Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church.

He served at the Riverside Church in Manhattan before moving to Lafayette, where he continued his activism by speaking out against the Atlantic Yards development.

“We…want to protect the area, which has been a wonderful place to raise a family, from developers who would just knock down people’s homes and put up glass and steel structures,” Mr. Dyson said.
