Episode Three - Worship - St. Lydia's, Brooklyn

In this episode of Traveling the Way of Love, we visit with the Rev. Elsa Marty, pastor at St. Lydia’s, a Lutheran congregation in Gowanus, a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. Long associated with industrial buildings, warehouses, and a polluted canal, Gowanus has been undergoing rapid gentrification. All around, construction has been popping up as families and young professionals move to the neighborhood. It was in this setting that St. Lydia’s found itself, without a traditional church building but with a rented storefront space where neighbors – who may or may not ever walk through the red doors of a traditional church – could gather, hear God’s Word, pray, sing, and celebrate the sacraments.
