Tuesday Daily Delawhere [2.17.15]

Filed in Delaware by on February 17, 2015

Daugherty Hall, on Main Street in Newark, or as normal people call it, the First Presbyterian Church. The Church was built in 1871. UD bought the specific-Church-looking building in 1967 when the congregation moved into Newark’s suburbs, for use as a study center and dining facility. I just find it out whenever Churches are used as secular buildings later on. It kinda devalues the whole God and religion thing, since you are saying that God’s house can be sold.

    We called the dining hall The Abbey when I was an undergrad. As far as repurposing houses of god and diminishing the “religion thing” I’m confused. I have no idea what value it has to begin with.

    Well… if you value religion in the first place…

    “you are saying that God’s house can be sold.”

    Would it be wrong to point out that God doesn’t actually need a “house”?

    Rather see it used for the purpose that it is now, than tearing it down.
