The borough's unexpected action should facilitate the long-stalled sale of the property to Second Baptist Church of Homestead and repayment of several dozen people burned in an investment scheme run by Grace Christian's former minister.

"It's a great Christmas present to the members of the church," said Jon Pushinsky, an attorney assisting in the American Civil Liberties Union's federal discrimination lawsuit against West Mifflin on behalf of Second Baptist. The ACLU has scheduled a news conference for 1 p.m. today. The borough said it was issuing the occupancy certificate because Second Baptist provided it with new information about its plans for the building. In a letter mailed by the borough Friday to Thomas B.

Earhart, Second Baptist's attorney during its efforts to buy the property, solicitors representing both the borough and its zoning board asked that the church "seriously reconsider termination of any and all litigation it instituted immediately." But Pushinsky and Witold Wal-czak, the Pittsburgh ACLU's legal director, said yesterday that despite the occupancy permit, they would continue pursuing the lawsuit The church "has been deprived of its rights since the application for the permit was made," Pushinsky said. In addition, the U.S. Department of Justice has contacted the ACLU about investigating the case, Wat czaksaid. Second Baptist Erst tried to buy the building and five acres of land in the spring, offering $950,000. The sale would repay existing liens, taxes and mortgages on the building, plus let 34 investors recoup more than $400,000 lost in a scheme run by Grace Christian Ministries' former pastor, W.

Michael Altman. Steve Levin can be reached at slevini" or 412- 263-1919. HOLIDAY CALENDAR on Saturday at 1 p.m. There will be poetry, drumming, light refreshments and discussions on the seven principles that mark the cultural celebration. The library is at 419 Dinwiddie St.
