The Rev.
David Crosby, pastor of , said it was the consensus of many pastors that the community lacked support for a service this year. The consensus was reached among members of both the multi-denominational and the Baptist Association of Greater New Orleans, Crosby said. First Baptist, at 5290 Canal Blvd., has hosted two of the citywide memorials held here. Crosby remains optimistic about the vibrancy of a church community still recovering from the storm. “I think the church community is doing well, moving forward, and seizing the opportunities that the years of rebuilding afford to connect to their community and express the love of neighbor which is at the heart of our work,” he said.
