Are there any CoC's that have a stained glass window. I wonder if there are any stories about a CoC buying a building from another church and getting rid of them.

I have been to Antarctica and there are quite a few Churches there, most are the representative religions of the nations research stations there. There might be a group of CoC that meets at the largest station of the US, I think it has several hundred people.

I was on a cruise in Antarctica and met some people who had gone to church with Billy Sol Estes. They said he took money out of the collection plate. He hung out with Lyndon too much.

Interesting, how common is this? This was an enormous issue which led to Antibaptist and most modern protestant movements.

Just trying to think about what issues is/was the CoC right about. 1) It seems they are very right to oppose infant baptism and emphasize it is the individual's decision to follow a particular religion/sect of a religion.
