Washington Square Methodist Episcopal Church
Washington Square Methodist Episcopal Church was a former Methodist church located at 135 West Fourth Street, Greenwich Village, Manhattan, New York. It was built in 1860, became a United Methodist church and closed in 2004 when its diminished congregation rented space in Trinity Chapel, New York University (1964). The church was also known as ''The Peace Church'' resulting from the congregation's opposition to the Vietnam War.〔Dunlap, David W., ''From Abyssinian to Zion: A Guide to Manhattan's Houses of Worship''. New York: Columbia University Press, 2004. p.291〕 The Rev. Paul M. Abels, NYC's first openly gay clergyman, served as the church's pastor from 1973 to 1984 and promoted acceptance of the gay and lesbian community.〔Lambert, B., (The Rev. Paul Abels Dies at 54; Gay Pastor Lead 'Peace' Church ), The New York Times, March 14, 1992〕 The church could not be demolished as it was located in the Village historic district and was instead converted into residential units.〔J. Russiello, ''A Sympathetic Planning Hierarchy for Redundant Churches: A Comparison of Continued Use and Reuse in Denmark, England and the United States of America'' (MSc Conservation of Historic Buildings, University of Bath, 2008), p.351, 353.〕〔Albert Amateau, “Washington Square Church Is Sold,” ''The Villager 75,'' no. 10 (27 July 2005).〕
