The unsung heroes of the church

greenspun.com : LUSENET : A.M.E. Today Discussion : One Thread

During fellowship time after church we were talking about how much we loved the architecture of the older churches, especially those with steeples on top. One of my members shared with us how his grandfather had built churches in Minnesota. He also shared with us that quite a few of the men who built churches died, building the tall steeples. They used human balances to lift each other to the top. And many fell to their death. I think the builders of churches are unsung heroes of our faith. The next time you go to church think about your building. I would love to hear some stories about the architects of your church and or the builders. God bless these unsung heroes!
