Any Writers Here or Anyone Who Wants to Be?

[Brother Rick]

With modern day technology anyone can realize their dream of being a writer. My wife and I are about as normal as you get, but we have three books published.

Is there anyone else here who's ever written a book or ever wanted to? Just curious.

Yes, I have written several things.

One on the history of the first baptist church in our former home town, long since defunct, of which all I could find written came to about 2 or 3 paragraphs. The local history society offered to help me publish it or to publish it themselves. I never took them up on this.

I also wrote some notes on the book of Revelation, entitled, "A Tale of Two Cities" Mystery Babylon and The New Jerusalem. The false church and the true church.

Wow, you must have done a lot of research and digging around to find that information on that church, brother! Why didn't you take them up on publishing it?

It would have involved joining their historical society and they only meet on the Lord's day.

The building is still there and a plaque on the wall says it was a Calvinist Baptist Church and then a "Reformed Weslyan Chapel" but I never found any evidence of the latter. I did find that it was later used by the Plymouth Brethren and the present baptist church used the baptistry when it seemed to be a private house. It is at present a drinking club and the baptistry is now the beer cellar. I did come across a number of letters to and from the church dated 1843-1847. They included some from a similar church in Canterbury founded in 1845. I did contact the man who had pastoral responsibility of that church and asked him if there were any records of the church going back to that period. He replied that they were missing and thought that there was a fear that the church would close and someone took them home for safe keeping and they had not been seen since. About 20 minutes later, he phoned me back and said "Those minutes you were asking about, my son has just walked in with them. I borrowed them and found quite a lot of interesting information in them. One thing was a church meeting on 25th December. We cannot even get our church to have 2 meetings that day this year and the morning service will no doubt be not much more than 30 minutes.
