“As the Churches Come Down All Around Me”

. . .churches come & churches go.  They are means to an end.  When there is need for a church, a church is built.  When there is no need – or these days no desire – for a church, the church falls into desuetude & is usually overwhelmed by time, entropy, & other forces. . .
