UBC

I wonder what they teach reporters to do

University Baptist Church closed last month, and the Good Samaritan House declined the building. The Daily Egyptian's report, despite the headline, is mostly about the future use of the building, and includes several textual curiousities: "The sanctuary was filled with several emotional congregants", and the pastor is called "John Annabelle" while the sign outside says "John Annable."

I wonder where the plaque with the names of the founding members will end up.

When I was there, by and large professors went to UBC and students (or at least the cool kids) went to a different church. I don't know if that was to avoid the appearance of evil, or if mutual forgiveness might be an issue--or if it was just the fashion of the moment.
