The Brooklyn Historical Society has an exhibit that looks at “the curious juxtaposition of religious symbols” in some Brooklyn houses of worship that were once synagogues but are now churches. At left, for example, is the Northeastern Conference Mt. Zion Church of God, formerly the Congregation Achavat Achim of Flatbush; at right is the Calvary Pentecostal Church, formerly the Woodruff Avenue Temple. The show was researched by Ellen Levitt and Howard Dankowitz and runs through February 11th. Has anyone checked it out? Any examples that come to mind in your own neighborhood?
