Jeff Street Baptist Community at Liberty. It's a confusing mouthful for a group that might better be known as the Church, formerly of Jeff Street, formerly Baptists (and Catholics, Presbyterians and given-up-hope) which is now at Liberty, literally and figuratively. We are a mutt. The wretched refuse. The divine community. God's Kingdom come. Welcome. [Disclaimer: The views within this blog are doubtless pretty cool. Nonetheless, views expressed are those of the individual and not Jeff Street.]

This wonderful ceramic piece was done by one of "The Ladies," as we used to call them, Mary Burgess. The Union Gospel Mission was housed in the old Ben T. Smith Mansion, which was torn down, I believe, to make room for the Haymarket (which has now also been torn down).
