We’ve got a heritage-listed church converted to a restaurant for International House of Pancakes in Brisbane, Australia.

Or maybe indoor farmer’s markets

Well: earliest churches took direct inspiration from the roman basilicas which were sometimes used as indoor markets.

My theory is that the rapture has already occurred, during the lifetime of the apostles, and that some family in el-Amarna was left wondering why Grandma never returned from the well that day.

Mt Vernon Church. Designed by Howard Walker (the church that burned … it was built on an earlier church site). (Much of my ‘wandering’ was as an historic archaeologist active in the city)

Yes, I had these thoughts in relation to this very church, as a matter of fact. This church was converted at a time, in a decade, when a lot of churches were being converted (but not enough). Of course, it all started with Alice’s Restaurant….

Remember the church at the corner of Beacon & Mass Ave in Boston?

Condos!

(It burned maybe 1976? Sent rats streaming out into the streets.)
