Greetings
The East Liberty Presby church at Penn & Highland is beautiful also.
Why go to Paris to see colored glass.  Join the Mellon family at
East Liberty.  Of course East Liberty is no longer safe for white
people.

In Baltimore, Rev Ed Schell's old church is downtown.  Must be
unsafe.  Best stay in the safe suburbs Fred.
