"Brooklyn has always been a place where movement is part of daily life. But today, Brooklynites, like all New Yorkers, are moving less, feeling more isolated and dealing with elevated rates of chronic diseases."

"When I see this, I'm thinking hallelujah. It's the first real indicator that the VA is willing to step up and get that chapel restored, which frankly I think is their responsibility."

As a Muslim council member in a district that has a huge Muslim enclave and a huge diverse Jewish community, I came into this work doing interfaith work. So having this summit doesn't feel like we're doing something new, it's a continuation of what we've already been building.

April's lineup at the Brooklyn Museum includes programs around 'Seydou Keïta: A Tactile Lens,' designed for accessibility and interactivity, featuring stroller tours for caregivers and infants.

No pillar of the African American community has been more central to its history, identity, and social justice vision than the Black Church. The grant is a blessing that will help us to make sure that it will be here for another 120 years and more.

The unidentified man approached the Islamic Mission of America Daoud Mosque at State and Clinton Sts. in Brooklyn Heights around 4:30 a.m. on March 9, and threw pieces of a religious book on the place's front step.

Matthew Marrero witnessed the emotional detainment inside of 26 Federal Plaza on Nov. 24. The pair had been attending what they thought would be a joyous Green Card appointment that would cement their life together; instead, it turned into a nightmare when the Marreros were separated by ICE, and Allan was transferred from facility to facility. After months of fighting for his husband's freedom, Matthew Marrero flew to the Magnolia State on Jan. 27 for Allan's bond hearing.

Last year at Grace Cathedral's Carnivale, I found the plastic baby in the King Cake. Tradition dictates this brings good luck. In reality, it kicked off a spectacularly chaotic year where we were outbid on a house by a single minute, and then my daily professional life capsized. So, walking back into the cathedral this Friday night, now holding the keys to my first San Francisco home and owning The Bold Italic, felt less like attending a party and more like crossing a finish line.

I wasn't able to make that event, but I do look forward to sitting down with the cardinal, and I'm so excited, frankly, at his leadership in this city. We see so often, frankly, that New Yorkers do not actually turn to elected officials in moments of need. They are turning to their faith leaders, he said, adding that he hopes to collaborate closely with Hicks moving forward.

The Chicago-born new archbishop of 2.8 million Catholics in New York was greeted with fanfare and applause both inside and outside the renowned house of worship in Midtown often called by Hicks' predecessor, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, as America's parish church. Midtown was swarmed with members of clergy as nuns and other people of faith passed by yellow cabs and commuters rushing to work to attend the history-making commemoration.

You'd be excused for not noticing Hue House while walking down a midtown Manhattan street. After all, as ambitious as the idea behind this new four-story cultural club showcasing Asian culture may be, the building itself is fairly nondescript, tucked into 56 East 41st Street near Madison Avenue. Step inside, though, and it becomes immediately clear just how much thought has gone into the project.

MILL BASIN - A BROOKLYN CHURCH has gone against a citywide trend of houses of worship selling off real estate, purchasing a large Mill Basin development site for $20.6 million, according to city records and Crain's New York. Salvation Church of God, located at 5601 Avenue N in Flatlands, bought two adjacent lots at 6065 and 6075 Strickland Ave., totaling roughly 116,000 square feet. The deed, recorded Monday, lists Pastor Malory Laurent as the signatory for the buyer.

The pioneer choir, which has expanded over more than five decades from a small nine-member group into a major ethnically-diverse ensemble, is bringing home the 2026 Grammy Award for Best Roots Gospel Album for "I Will Not Be Moved: Live with The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir." The choir was presented with the prize during the 68th Grammy Awards Premiere Ceremony, held in Los Angeles.
