Here’s a nice shot of the Miami Beach Community Church when I was on Lincoln Road a few days ago …
Carl G. Fisher, at the encouragement of his wife Jane, gave the three lots on which the church was built.
The Sanctuary was ready for occupancy on the second Sunday in January, 1921. The church organized with 27 charter members on February. 7, 1921, and the building was dedicated on Palm Sunday, March 20, 1921.
The first minister – The Rev. Dr. Elisha King – oversaw the church from 1921-1940. In 1926 a hurricane flooded most of the church, destroying the hymn books, piano and organ. In addition, the pages of the altar Bible were ripped out up to the Gospel of John!
… I saw the Tibetan Monks chanting here years ago.
