Letter clarifying Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist Church history

“There have been several articles about the sale of and plans for properties the city purchased from Mt. Moriah Baptist Church. Some of that articles have reflected misstatements or generalizations about the church’s history and relevance to downtown Ocala. While Mt. Moriah’s presence in downtown Ocala is no more, let’s not reduce its legacy to colloquial terminology. Let’s honor the name Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church in all respects” – A lifelong parishioner at Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church wrote in concerning recent articles written by Ocala-News.com.
