Hopewell Presbyterian Church

For 30 years, people have brought their dogs to services at Hopewell. Welcoming pets is part of the church's commitment to honoring the Earth and all its creatures. . . . Inside the little gray brick church, old wooden pews have been painted sky blue. The carpet matches, and overhead is a cloud white ceiling. The pastor says the church is the first one he's been involved with that doesn't expect or insist its members follow a prescribed set of beliefs. The pastor also says that at Hopewell, fundamentalists and agnostics, conservatives and liberals sit, pray and argue with each other side by side. Courtesy of Hopewell Museum.
