80 years old is an “old Church”?

A thousand years old would be a legitimately old church. A building 80 years old has all the antiquity of a bowling alley.

Ahh, my bad. 108, not 80. Well that’s the barest tint of oldness then.

Well, a building 80 or 100 years is kind of old by American standards. There are no 600 year old American cathedrals. I can see how some sort of new storefront building could be more utilitarian and affordable for a church building, but that is really bland when compared with an older church building. I know, an ageing building that is in disrepair is not a pleasant place, either.

A thousand years old would be a legitimately old church. A building 80 years old has all the antiquity of a bowling alley. Yeah, because we have a lot of 1000 year old churches in Brooklyn.

And I dare you to come here and find an 80 year old bowling alley.
