Ker-ist! Where Will the Angels Hang Out?

The Zeckendorf Brothers, who put no fewer than four ugly towers on Union Square, are now about to colonize the airspace above the Grolier Club and Christ Church. The church is on the corner of Park. Some grown people attended nursery school there and feel sentimental enough about the place to not want to see the site Zeckendorfed. Park and 60th looks nice and feels good with more sky, not less.

When I visit the Christ Church website today, the news is as follows:

Our Advent and Christmas Schedule
Most recent sermon : Be Watchful (November 27, 2005)
New website for information on Ministries for Families with Children at Christ Church
The Church's Outreach video

See? Nothing about selling air rights for upwards of $30 million. Information anemia. My suggestion:

Take this entry . . .

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 4, 11:00 A.M.We continue our Advent pilgrimage and light the second Advent candle, a symbol of Love. Today our sanctuary will be filled with the glorious sounds of brass and choral music sung antiphonally from the galleries at the upper reaches of the church. Come sing the great hymns of Advent, accompanied by the brilliance of trumpets and timpani.

. . . and tack something enigmatic but tasteful onto the end. For instance:


Beyond the sanctuary's upper reaches, the air above will be enriched with new possibilities as we conclude the proceedings of a business agreement with two brothers who have taken a lively interest in our offerings. We have much to celebrate this season!
