What denomination predominantly owns the little white churches in New England? -

The simple white-washed churches with a single steeple that New England is famous for. I absolutely adore those churches and just out of curiosity I would like to know which domination, or denominations, owns them. Thanks!

Many of them started out as Congregational churches in the early 19th Century. Denominations originally included United Church of Christ, Unitarian, Presbyterian, Methodist, Baptist (there s a spectacular one in Providence). Nowadays some congregations have died out and other more vibrant ones have bought the buildings so you might find an Anglican, a Baptist, a Korean Methodist, etc.

Most are the United Church of Christ (Congregational). Probably the 2nd largest number, but much, much less, are Unitarian-Universalist. Both sects that accept same sex marriage, by the way.

They could be of almost any Protestant denomination

Traditionally, most of these were New England Congregational Churches.

I live in New york. Brooklyn to be exact. Can i get a ticket for playing my guitar and singing in the train? -

If you do anything to collect money, whether have a hat out or go around asking. You are panhandling which is illegal. If you just go around playing and singing you are just being annoying which is not illegal. Play on the G train i never ride that

you can get a ticket for playing, whether soliciting or not. It is very rtare that hat law is enforced if you are not too annoying. Usually a cop or transit person will just ask yoy to shut it down.
