One of our regular pedestrian coffee routes took us past Friendship Baptist Church.

  • Role: subject
  • In the article: The couple’s coffee walks pass the church, and the writer takes comfort in its hand-changed sign (“All Are Welcome”). It still stands while rapid redevelopment goes on around it, and she notes it turns 150 in 2025.
  • Why it matters: The church stands for continuity in a neighbourhood that is changing fast.
  • Real vs. fictional: The text names only the church; the pin is the Wikipedia point for the Southwest D.C. church of that name. ⚠️ The text does not give its street.
