Original Toronto Star caption: Rev. Joseph MacDonald says it's significant his 10-year-old Yonge St. Christian drop-in centre has shut its doors in the same week as the Strip's last body rub parlor. But that is not the reason I am leaving; he said in an interview. The need is still there. There are a great many lonely people out on the street. But I need time to renew the mandate the Lord gave me some years ago and see where I should be going next.
