Churches are also a place of solidarity and community. Now and then. Especially in a place like Bloomfield where it was a brief reprieve from what was otherwise a dismal, corporate-industrial existence.

Personally though, I’d rather not see it torn down for aesthetic reasons. What tends to replace things like this are blocky, function-over-form buildings. Or perhaps a crumbling lot.

Repurpose the building into something the community of Bloomfield will enjoy and move on.
