Trinity Wall Street Episcopal Church Supports Occupy Wall Street, Except When It Comes To Making Property Available to Them


Sometimes, in the ongoing culture war between the 1% and the 99% it is sometimes difficult to tell what side people are on, but supposedly many liberal churches are on the side of Occupy Wall Street. However, there are limits apparently.

Trinity Wall Street Episcopal Church released a statement to the Occupy Wall Street protestors and the congregation this past Sunday after the protestors requested use of their property.

While Trinity does not support breaking the law, it does support the issues the protestors raised. The church extends its hospitality and the use of Church properties during business hours. One can read the full statement on the Church’s website as well as view their announcement during Sunday’s service at the end of this article.

The Church property the protestors wish to use is a mile north of the original camp at Canal Streetand Sixth Avenue. Apparently, the vacant lot, called Duarte Square, belongs to the city and not to the church and according to the church, the lot is not suitable for large encampments.
