St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Catasauqua is no more after being open for 167 years.
This is just so sad! You know this church is probably located in an old part of town, where everyone knew everyone back in the day. The church was packed for this last service but had reportedly had dwindling attendance over the past several years and debts they could not pay.
What bothers me the most is the comment made by the Vice President of St Paul's Church Council:
Every Christian alive needs to know the truth that Muslims and Christians DO NOT worship the same God. Muslims worship Allah, while Christians worship God Who is the Great I Am.

Church leaders said the property is in the process of being sold to a Muslim organization which plans to transform the building into a mosque.
"I think it'll be a very, very good thing for the community, if the community will accept them, and that's my greatest fear," said Witt.
Witt also believes the new owners should be accepted because both religions have one major thing in common.
"They believe in God," Witt said.
