Ground Zero: St. Nicholas Church Still Not Rebuilt Nine Years Later
Rebuild the church....First!
Nine years after 911, St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church at Ground Zero remains to be rebuilt. Brother, can you spare a little fast-tracking?
So, New York big-shots can fast track a Muslim mosque near the site of the attacks on New York and the destruction of the WTC and the little Greek Orthodox church that was crushed when the South Tower fell but in all this time they can’t seem to find the wherewithal to allow this little house of worship that served not only the Greek community but welcomed anyone who felt the need to find a little peace and solitude amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.
More about the delays and red tape plague the rebuilding of St. Nicholas.
From Church’s Troubles Typify Ground Zero Delays:
The story of the tiny St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and its efforts to rebuild after the collapse of the World Trade Center is one of well-intentioned promises that led to endless negotiations, design disputes, delays and mounting costs.
In addition, Charles V. Bagli, the reporter on the NY Times story above, points out: “The church has for several years wanted to build the new St. Nicholas a block northeast of its original home on Cedar Street. But doing so would require trading land with the Port Authority, and an agreement has proven elusive.”
Disgusting.

If they want to make sure they will get a permit they should: 1. denounce America 2. Threaten to kill all Americans 3. Most important is contribute money to obama and his communist party. It will be approved in a few weeks.
