Sending this out to the Great Reformed Ping List.

Guys (and gals)... this really ought to be a subject for prayer. I know the church isn't a building, but preserving our history is not something foreign to Calvinists.

We have many people in our Reformed circles who are capable of undertaking this project by writing a check out of their personal bank accounts. Let's do something to preserve this building, and get it away from a group advocating views which are clearly contrary to Christian values.

The role of Machen as the intellectual leader of American fundamentalism was not minor. I'd love to see a college or seminary somewhere buy this building and use it as a chapel or museum, calling attention to the fact that biblical Christianity is not anti-intellectual but rather strives to take every thought captive — including those of college professors — and subject those thoughts to the crown rights of King Jesus.

I take it the church Machen preached is the church shown at the site. This could be a beautiful church if restored but it probably would cost a great deal. Restoration work isn’t cheap.
