Letter to the editor: concern about church committee’s “adversarial approach”

April 27, 2015

letter

To the editor:

I fully understand and appreciate the First Parish may want to upgrade the Stearns Room to enhance after-service socializing and improve handicapped access. However, it is not clear why the Building Committee has adopted an adversarial approach to the process—one which antagonizes Lincoln neighbors near and far, divides the congregation, threatens lawsuit, disrespects certain town boards and alienates long-term benefactors.

I am concerned that a project pushed forward in such circumstances will not achieve its full potential to enhance the life of the parish, may produce a result that will detract from the ambiance of Lincoln’s historic village center, and will set an unfortunate precedent for future town endeavors.

Sincerely,

Rob Jevon
9 Trapelo Road
