....The church agreed to rebuild on a smaller lot a few blocks east. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25825608/According to George Demos, that was all a Port Authority lie. They lied again in a recent Wall Street journal article, saying "the church is free to rebuild anytime". Not true. The Port Authority has taken their land and provided them with nothing in return other than bureaucratic roadblocks.
Demos has started a petition to ask Obama to defend the rebuilding St. Nicholas Church", for everyone to sign.
I'm Orthodox (although not Greek), but I'd say this if I were a Presbyterian: If we can't stop the mosque from being built, then let's overshadow it with the biggest cross and church possible with St. Nicholas' through our donations! Even Saudi donations can't outdo a united American Christian front on this issue!

By contrast, the same imam has a mosque a few miles away already, and they are ready to give him funds/land to move the proposed mosque a couple block. This Church was destroyed by the towers falling, and they want to move it a few blocks away?? After giving them a hard time for 10 YEARS!!!
Hypocrisy!!

Thank you for the link. It was such a beautiful church. It breaks my heart to read this, and I know it must be even more so for its members. If it's any consolation, we've had churches in our area (central Florida) destroyed by fire, arson, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc., and the minister and/or deacons will say, “It's not the building that makes a church, it's the people.” Also, the fate of the church was brought up on Rush's show yesterday and today. Maybe if more people learn of this, something can be done before it's sold, or is it too late? I've heard they are “negotiating”, and I've heard it's sold.

It seems to me that this site should do all it can to bring this story to light. I just did a Google News search and got a “Show all 3 stories” link t click on.
ALL 3 STORIES? You have to be kidding. This should be front page news.

“Acts of nature vs. act of human EVIL.”
Not necessarily. Several of the churches were deliberately torched (all of one was burnt EXCEPT the altar). Their ministers/deacons all said “it's not the building that makes a church, it's the people”. All that they reported on held services outside the next Sunday.
It would be extremely hard to lose St. Nicholas. As old as that church is, I imagine people have grown up in it; married in it; had their babies christened there; and their final services. Probably, generations of families have attended.
Hopefully, with the attention they are receiving, something can be done to preserve and restore the building.

"The church continues to have the right to rebuild at their original site, and we will pay fair market value for the underground space beneath that building," a spokesperson with the Port Authority told Fox News. But Karloutsos called the Port Authority's claims "propaganda" and said the church has complied with all conditions. He said the government should honor agreements that date back to 2004, under former New York Gov. George Pataki.
Pataki, speaking with Fox News on Tuesday, agreed that the church should be rebuilt.

Aside from the sarcastic posts I read here, Many of you are allowing history to repeat itself right before your very eyes.
If this Church were any other Christian denomination other than Orthodox Christians, and if you really had a knowledge of what Eastern Christians endured in the fight against islam,your postings would not be so glib.
As a courtesy I will post a link for you to check out.

All Christian denominations must stand together in these times. This story needs more attention.
