Brown Memorial Baptist Church’s Weekend Rededication
The Local [Fort Greene/Clinton Hill]
by Erin Horan
More than 500 patient parishioners attended Saturday’s rededication of the fabled Brown Memorial Baptist Church, whose crumbling sanctuary reopened after two years of renovations.
...The congregation has been inside the Washington Avenue edifice since purchasing it in 1958. Since 2000, the flock has been led by the Rev. Clinton Miller, who has stepped up the church’s activism, most notably by opposing the Atlantic Yards project, which promised basketball and jobs for local residents in the new Barclays Center.
