Steel Church Building

Steel Church Building

Did Barack Obama say this?

Was googling around and ran into this, I didn't see any sources though. I'd really like to see some proof that he said this if in fact he said it.

"The presumptive Democrat presidential front runner said his plan would employ “these Archie Bunker-type people” in government programs “to register and/or confiscate inappropriate personal firearms, to monitor churches for hate-speech about homosexuality or abortion, and to build tax-funded housing for low income illegal aliens.”

“Twenty-five years is a long time to wallow in bitterness like our friends in Pennsylvania, the Midwest and elsewhere have been doing,” said Sen. Obama, “So, until the steel mills can all be converted to casinos and re-opened, we’ll provide good government jobs at high wages that will soothe the rage, and help to re-educate these small-town folk.”"

wow - I hope not. check out snopes.com. I'll do some looking and get back to you.

Past and Future Church Buildings

People have always felt the need to worship and believe in a higher power. From worshiping the nature phenomena to worshiping gods, they soon felt a certain need to build a structure that would make the connection between the believers and the worshiped. From old temples to the first church buildings, mankind expressed not only belief but also art. Every culture has its own way of building their churches. You can even talk about a specific design if you come to think of certain religious differences. But in all the cases there is a church designer involved.

The common church buildings are constructed in the shape of a cross. This is the main architecture style for churches that were constructed that way. There is a main hall that holds the chairs or benches for the believers, a hall that has two small rectangles at one end, and continues further with the altar, another rectangle that completes the cross. Usually, there is a dome above the altar or even the whole place, depending on the church type and also on the way the church designer designed its plan from the beginning. But the shape is a matter of local belief and individual theology. You can find circular churches, octagonal shaped ones or the kind of church architecture that is completed by a tall spire.

In case we are talking about communities that have insufficient funds to build a new church, we will come across building conversions into a house of God. In this case there will not be a planned shape, but an internal and external renovation. And when it comes to design, you have to get the opinion of a church designer, a professional that will keep in mind everything about the congregation and include that in his renovation plans.

All the centuries-old church buildings are seen as historical monuments, and that is because all of them hold pieces of art and touches by the church designers of that time, as well as the art impressions of that period. There is no reason why new church buildings should not pass to the future generations the experience we developed so far. That is why it is so important to seek the advice of a church designer, a professional that will offer visual solutions and classic or futuristic points of view about how a church can represent more than a simple building where believers congregate.

Keeping in mind that the church represents the place that connects the believers with God, a church designer will make sure that the newly-built or renovated church will attract not only the regular worshipers but also new followers that might find in its design the peace and serenity a holy place should have.

So, even if the church is built out of concrete, wood or futuristic glass and steel, a professional church designer will make sure to combine all the elements in perfect harmony. That is why in case you make up your mind about funding or participating in the building, conversion or renovation of a church, you should get the help of a professional church designer.

Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product Description Located just eleven miles southeast of Pittsburgh, Duquesne has a history that began when British general Edward Braddock and American colonel George Washington marched through the area and were defeated by the French in 1755. Once a part of Mifflin Township, Duquesne was later named in honor of the French governor general of Canada. Through the 1800s, the area was primarily fertile farmland. After the construction of the Carnegie Steel Mill in 1901, the town became an industrial giant in steel production. Incorporated as a town in 1891, Duquesne became rich in culture, with people from ethnic backgrounds as diverse as the skills they utilized to build the community. By the height of World War II, the Carnegie Steel Company, now the Duquesne Works of United States Steel, employed over ten thousand people. Through nearly two hundred photographs, Duquesne extols the history of this prosperous town.
