 The Stop Shopping Church 

The Stop Shopping Church rehearses in their studio at the Lower Eastside Girls Club, while the church’s most frequented New York stage is Joe’s Pub at the Public Theater, also in New York’s East Village. Through the years the Church has put down roots in many churches, like St. Marks, Judson, and the church where Rev. Sidney Lanier was vicar, St. Clement’s in Hell’s Kitchen.

The church has gone through a number of name changes, including:
 * The Church of Stop Shopping (2001 dates );
 * The Church of Stop Bombing ( at the beginning of the Afghani conflict );
 * The Church of Life After Shopping ( dates ); and
 * The Church of Earth-a-lujah ( abandoned because TV and radio interviewers couldn’t pronounce it ).
