In this episode of Traveling the Way of Love, we visit with the Rev. Elsa Marty, pastor at St. Lydia’s, a Lutheran congregation in Gowanus, a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. Long associated with industrial buildings, warehouses, and a polluted canal, Gowanus has been undergoing rapid gentrification. All around, construction has been popping up as families and young professionals move to the neighborhood.
