“Church blessings of gay couples are such a drastic departure from Christian tradition that it seems odd to argue that their effect will be limited. But never underestimate the Church of England’s ability to accommodate new secular orthodoxies while containing conservative dissent.”
Damian Thompson
“Young people are no longer inoculated, as if by a homeopathic microdose, by the watered-down versions of the faith that still survived in the culture at large until recently.”

1924: Eager customers crowd around Britt’s, which opened its new location in 1924, replacing its store a block to the west. The new store at the corner of Riverside Avenue and Wall Street, expanded on the concept of a five-and-dime store which was already popular around the country, but this store was relabeled by owner John P. Brittan as a 5-cent to $1 store, expanding the price range of the inventory. The successful store chain was bought out by J.J. Newberry Co. around 1930 and greatly expanded after WWII. (Eastern Washington State Historical Society)
Present day: The former Newberry store on the Riverside Avenue frontage between Wall and Howard streets, closed in 1991 and was renovated in 2005 and 2006, unifying the former retail space into the three-story Bank of Whitman building. Today, the building has some tenants, including some operations for Gesa Credit Union, but is mostly vacant. (Jesse Tinsley/THE SPOKESMAN-REVIEW)
