"... I’ve been looking for churches to buy for years before I found this one listed on Ebay,' Archer said. An Episcopalian, Archer said finding the church in Mt. Jewett was an 'epiphany.'"

"The Church" wasn't sold, but the building once called St. Margaret Episcopal Church, 13 Gallup Ave., was.

How is it ye do not understand my words? It should not be called a Church to begin with. No building is a Church. The Church is Born Again believers in Christ Jesus, by faith in His Word and finished work upon the Cross! Not a building.

For practical purposes, the building has to be called something that indicates its purpose; besides, this story isn't meant to be interpreted theologically.

I am thrilled that someone from Palm Beach, FL has discovered this small town that has housed some of the greatest & loving souls! There is peaceful magic on the mountain top and I am glad that John Pierce Archer has discovered this hidden treasure. Enjoy with great blessings. My father saved me one burial plot on the mountain and there I shall rest in peace someday. A former Mt. Jewett, PA resident!

Daily Horoscope for December 31

Pisces

Someone is extremely headstrong and defiant today, and there's every chance that you're the one fitting this description. The more others are trying to make you behave yourself or do what they want, the more determined you'll be to do the exact opposite. Well, it is a Full Moon, and a lunar eclipse in emotional Cancer, so you're excused! Show them that you're an individual in your own right without going completely overboard about it, because that will cause trouble. Then once you've got all that off your chest you can relax and look forward to a really Happy New Year!
