Some Churches Hope Albany Will Act to Allow Renting School Space to Pray - NYTimes.com

Some Churches Hope Albany Will Act to Allow Renting School Space to Pray - NYTimes.com: The issue of using public schools for religious services has been a matter of debate for decades.

The Park Slope church got a head start when space at a nearby parish became available.
