Solomon, is working hard trying to find a church to rent for worship services. Finally, he tells us “…the Lord directed me to a theater in the back of a bar in the French Quarter. The owner of the bar discussed it, consulted with their attorney, and have made it available to EFP of MCC of New Orleans on Sunday evenings at 7:30 P.M. Free of charge!” The first worship service was held on May 9, 1971, and six people attended. The following Sunday only four appeared, but Rev. Solomon said he has faith in the future of this mission. A salesman he met to order his cassock got so interested in hearing about Metropolitan Community Church that he gave Rev. Solomon the cassock and surplice as a sample. They fit as it tailor-made for him! He asked his landlady about a table she had which was a good size for an altar and she gave it. The bartender at the bar in front of the theater where services will be held donated the candlesticks. One of the members is making the cover for the table and colored runners for the altar—he’s also donating the cloth. Another young man has offerred to try to find a chalice for them. Rev. David Solomon hopes to promote fellowship thru various social activities. A swimming party is planned, and a Shrimp and Crawfish Boil.

Dellevue, owner and operator of a fishing and boat rental concession at the City Park Casino, Monday defended his policy restricting the use of his boats. He responded following the appearance there of the Rev. David E. Solomon, pastor of the Metropolitan Community Church of New Orleans. The Rev. Mr. Solomon protested a sign at the business which reads,” Pedal Boats Not Rented to Two Men or Two Boys or Man and Boy (over 12 years)” He said “the sign has to go. It’s discrimination. Nobody’s going to tell me who I can take out in my boat which I paid for to rent.” The clergyman carried several of his own signs as he picketed on Monday. Dellevue explained why this policy has been strictly enforced since his father started the business in 1929: “Pedals boats are more delicate than other boats because of the moving parts. You get two men or boys in the boat and if one wants to go forward and the other backward the pedals will break off when pressure is exerted too forcibly.” He added, “through my 35 years of experience with these boats, if we did not have such a rule, there would be no pedal boats for anyone. There is too much breakage damage and vandalism on all the boats. You have to protect your business. We’re trying to prevent vandalism, breakage and repair work, which is a year round operation. Some of these kids get in these boats and punch holes in them with their paddles.” Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
