Summary
[edit]DescriptionFaith United Church of Christ, Boston, New York - 20230111.jpg |
English: St. John's Lutheran Church, 8651 Boston State Road, Boston, New York, January 2023. A work of the Buffalo-based architectural firm of Shelgren, Patterson & Marzec, this two-story brick church complex was described in news coverage of its dedication as being Colonial in style, but instead serves as a prime example of the firm's conservative and traditionalist-informed take on Modern architecture, with the latter's requisite sleek lines, simplified forms, and geometric angularity but a scheme of ornamentation that both is quite a bit less austere than the norm and also unashamedly hearkens back to earlier architectural traditions. This is most visible on the central spire, with its louvered base, as well as the Classical-style broken pediment that comprises the gable of the glass-faced entrance vestibule, a later addition to the building that is nonetheless harmonious in design. The United Church of Christ as a denomination was founded in 1957 as a merger of the Congregational Christian and Evangelical & Reformed Churches, and this is echoed in Faith's own history as an individual congregation: it traces its history to the January 10, 1960, when St. Paul's Evangelical & Reformed Church of Boston and the small, struggling, Congregationalist-affiliated Community Church in nearby Patchin - two faith communities that counted long traditions in the Boston Valley dating back to 1834 and 1835 respectively, and which had already shared the same pastor for several years - signed a Basis of Union and began holding joint services. Under the direction of the Rev. Richard Whitney, they soon purchased a six-acre plot of land roughly midway between the sites of the two original parent churches and continued holding services in the former's building (now home of the Boston Historical Society) until the completion of their present one, for which ground was broken in August 1965. Aided by volunteer labor from the congregants themselves, construction proceeded briskly and the building, comprising a 300-capacity sanctuary, 200-capacity fellowship hall, seven Sunday school classrooms, and a full-size kitchen, was dedicated just nine months later. |
