You might want to check out another site www.MyCommunityTickets.com. Their fees are so much less and they are FREE for organizations to list any event or sell tickets or registrations online. With that you would think every organization in America would be signing up to make customer's life's easier and less costly. Maybe you know of some groups that can use the service - send them their way. Yes fees can be expensive. You might want to check out another site http://www.MyCommunityTickets.com.

Of course being older and thinking we are wiser we kept going but were able to take one picture. Of course having captured the beauty and not the sadness that over came us that day (4/5/08). The mystery of those few seconds has been embedded in all four of our minds as long as we have the privilege to remember. I personally can not stop thinking about going back nor about why we didn't stop (besides the fact that we had to pick our son up from the airport) that day. We knew instantly that that church had impacted us. Corby expresses what has been going through our minds since that day. I think it stirs our souls because it does represent the possible future of our country, the chaos in our present time. My husband I recently went to New Orleans to visit our son who is working south of the city (Bursas and Venice) in environmental clean up and we can honestly say that the city looked just like Gary but they have a reason, KATRINA. What natural disaster hurt Gary? Was it man? It tore our hearts to see the disaster left behind from Katrina still today and now seeing Gary we are even more confused. Do we wonder why we spend so much money abroad when we have so much hurt here...? Kyle thanks for the pictures!!! Corby thanks for the history. I plan to return, this a history lesson for my children for them to share with theirs...

I just recently became interested in City Methodist and Gary after having read a book by James Lewis, 'The Protestant Experience in Gary, Indiana, 1906-1975: At Home in the City.' Although I have a church background both academically and in practice, my interest is more in how a community can rise and fall as quickly as Gary. The first pastor of City Methodist, William Seaman, sought to bring an inclusive ministry into the city by offering a church that went beyond just Sunday morning preaching. The design of the campus bears this out. The gym, the education/commercial wing, and the sanctuary were all meant to feed more than just the soul. Looking at the structure now, some may argue that his experiment which lasted only 49 years failed, and miserably. Nevertheless, Seaman's mission was noble and is worthy of reconsideration, not only in Gary, but in every community. I keep wondering what purpose this space serves now. Sure, it’s an awesome spot to photograph. But why does this sanctuary stir the soul more than any well-lit, air-conditioned, meticulously maintained cathedral I can find in almost any city in America? As it stands now — City Methodist represents the future if we do not reexamine what it means to be authentically human and in search of something better for all. I would love to be a part of an ongoing conversation about this place. In one sense, it may have been abandoned decades ago, but there is something powerful there worth rediscovering.

Yeah, I fear for my safety,but I also travel in groups (usually four, sometimes more). I also carry with me mace and a giant club of a flashlight just in case. So far, I haven't run into anything horrible at all. Personable people interested in what I'm doing and other explorers for the most part. I guess I've gotten lucky so far - that's why I'm looking into some insurance for my camera. Thanks for the visit, Dave.
