The God Box

The Interchurch Center - AKA "God Box"

The building I work in has been dubbed "The God Box".  

At a funeral recently when my husband told an acquaintance where I worked, the person responded, "In the God Box?"

A towering 19-stories facing the Hudson River located at 475 Riverside Drive and 120th Street in Manhattan, New York City. 

I don't know when people started calling it that or who was the first to tag the building with that name, but it is rather catchy - don't you think?  I did a Google search of "God Box NYC" and six of the eight entries on the first page were absolutely about this building.

According to Wikipedia it received this nickname because of all the religious agencies located in the building. United Methodists, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Church World Service, United Church of Christ, and the list goes on.  (If curiosity is killing the cat, you can read all about it here.) 

All kinds of God work going on in this place!  Jeepers!

However, even though it's dubbed "The God Box", everyone knows that just like you can't put Baby in a corner, you can't put God in a box.
