The reason for the church has died (to be able to thumb their noses at the Baptists). Now that they have to make payments on the building, stop embezzling quite so much, actually minister to folks that may not be gay, etc., the church has dwindled to just a few hundred.
Oh, and COH did not offer their facilities for the funeral. Too expensive to clean up afterward.
I didn't know that. I didn't think they ever got around to building the new Phillip Johnson designed facility, but I didn't know that they had imploded. Must have happend when they switched from MCC to Barak Obama's denomination.
