Tourists: curse or saviours?

Megahn Barr writes in today's Huffington Post
“The clash between tourists and congregants plays out every Sunday at
Mother African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, the oldest black church
in New York state. It's one of many Harlem churches that have become
tourist attractions for visitors from all over the world who want to
listen to soulful gospel music at a black church service. With a record
number of tourists descending upon New York City last year, the crowds
of foreigners are becoming a source of irritation among faithful
churchgoers.”
