Daggone, Padre. I do believe that's almost as old as mine. But you tell it better.

Though everyone knows that Presbyterian chruches have slate roofs. Come to think on it, I believe almost every church of that denomination I've ever seen have been stone or brick.

Could it possibly be there's an inverse relationship between the durability of the church building and the congregation's viewpoint on the imminence of the second coming? "Oh, yeah, the second coming's just around the corner, let's spend our money on STONE!!!"
