Bishop Michael Fisher, left, the newly elected head of the
Society of Francis throughout the Anglican Communion, visits a three
story abandoned building in Brooklyn, N.Y. being renovated by the friars
to become St. Elizabeth's Friary. The occasion was a working bee clean
up by friends and supporters. Within eight months, the building will be
a thriving center of Franciscan ministry in the largely black and West
Indian neighborhood. Fisher is seen here, broom in hand, talking with
Brooklyn Borough President Howard Golden, staunch supporter of the pro-
ject. They are joined by Br. Patrick Damian, one of the members of the
friary, who works as a chaplain in a nearby hospital. (Photo credit: Fran/Media)
