Calvary-St. George's Parish is an Episcopal parish in Manhattan, New York City. It was formed in 1976 from the merger of the parishes of three churches which were in close proximity: *St. George's Church, founded in 1749 and located at 209 East 16th Street at Rutherford Place, on Stuyvesant Square; *Calvary Church, founded in 1832 and located at 273 Park Avenue South on the corner of East 21st Street in the Gramercy Park neighborhood near the Flatiron District; and *Church of the Holy Communion, founded in 1844 and located at 656-662 Avenue of the Americas (Sixth Avenue) at West 20th Street in the Flatiron District. With all three parishes facing dwindling enrollment and financial problems, the combined parish deconsecrated the Church of the Holy Communion and sold the church buildings to Odyssey House, a drug rehabilitation program, in order to raise money and pay down their debts.〔(Calvary St, George website ) Accessed:May 19, 2010)〕〔, pp.88-89〕 Odyssey House, in turn, sold them to nightclub entrepreneur Peter Gatien, who opened the New York Limelight club there in 1983. The buildings are currently the location of an upscale boutique mall called the Limelight Marketplace. The other two sanctuaries of the combined parish both remain in use.〔 pp.36-37〕 ==See also== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Calvary-St. George's Parish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
