I have enjoyed your articles and appreciate the research you’ve done. I would like to mention that the Avondale article leaves out a major church: Avondale United Methodist, which is located at 40th Street and 5th Avenue South. https://www.avonumc.net/

Thank you! Yes, I was disappointed that I didn’t get a student to do Avondale. One or two students did it for her initial report but then chose another for the detailed report. I believe I had a student group doing it last spring pre-Covid, but that had to be abandoned due to Covid. I was going to lead a tour of Avondale churches last spring. Avondale UMC was the starting point and star of that tour, but again that had to be abandoned due to Covid.
