Much better than letting it become a mosque, as so many old churches are now becoming, IMO.
Good point.
>> Much better than letting it become a mosque ...
The EpiSScopal Church recently did that in Binghamton, NY when the congregation opted to defect to the Anglican Church. The congregation obtained financing, and then offered something like $155,000 after having the building appraised.
The church sold it to the local Islamic Information Center for $55,000.
They wouldn’t be torn at all if it did become a mosque!
