Former church a cozy home

John Pierce Archer, a devout Christian, feels right at home living in a former church in Mt. Jewett. “This feels cozy and comfy,” Archer said as he showed off his home in the former St. Margaret Episcopal Church at 13 Gallup Ave. “It’s my fortress of solitude.” Archer, a world-renown art curator whose primary home is in Palm Beach, Fla., purchased the Mt. Jewett church Dec. 30, 2006 ...

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.

When Jesus in Revelation speaks to the Churches He is speaking to the people not the 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!
