There’s Erskine Presbyterian church. In this season of the end of things, the church is shut down too.

I blogged about the church a year ago, in Bronson Walk. At the time I thought that church was doing everything it had to do to survive. But I was wrong. (Actually, lots has changed on Bronson. Maybe it’s time for another walk.)

There were five guys on the ground handling the ropes, bucking the logs for firewood, and chipping the twigs. There’s my neighbour Annie out on her porch. It’s her tree.
