Westminster Presbyterian Church 📍

Westminster is a congregation deeply committed to building a community whose purpose is to serve Jesus Christ in the city. We see our location as a unique gift. We are situated a block away from the state capitol of New York.

We are located in a diverse and vibrant urban neighborhood. At a time of polarization in government, media and religion, and when public discourse is increasingly shrill and uncivil, Westminster attempts to be a wide tent under which diverse ideas are not only tolerated, but welcome.

Save the Pine Bush has their monthly dinner at the rented-out hall below the church. It is accessed by going to 85 Chesnut Street. There is off-street parking next to the church for church functions and the dinner.

Three Experiences of Standing Rock

Many environmental and indigenous rights workers travelled to Standing Rock to help, show solidarity, and join in the strongest international statement of indigenous solidarity and resistance to fossil fuel infrastructure of our time. One of our speakers, Sharon Alley, tells of the elders asking that everyone take coals from the sacred fire home with them in their hearts and kindle more fires where water protectors can gather. Join in kindling more fires and come hear the stories of Iris, Ariel and Sharon, three people who went to Standing Rock and were profoundly moved by the experience.

Save the Pine Bush Dinner – 6 PM Tonight

Roger Downs will speak about the new, proposed changes in the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act - SEQRA. He will describe the proposed changes and how these will affect the environmental review process. Is “streamlining” needed or just a way to push through bad projects? How will limiting scoping affect the process? Roger will tell us what we can do to protect SEQRA.
