It's a beautiful book; I've seen and touched it in person. I think it's a shame that the congregation can't meet their goals another way.
Secular New Englander’s have auctioned off God a long time ago. I was born and raised in MA and went to college in VT ( how I kept my faith is miraculous)
with decreased church attendance..churches are forced to sell things of value just to keep the heat on.
my apologies to the devout who still live there and fight the good fight
