That is, if the congregation would suffer a sad financial failure, I would rather see a public/private partnership with the current and original congregation or have it become a publicly owned building which could be used as a museum and lecture hall and rooms rented for other public and/or religious meetings. The reason is that it is of historical importance as a colonial site, having served as a hospital for the wounded Revolutionary War troops and also a location for certain Indian treaties [it's all available history at the NC Historical Society, Easton Library, and the church in Easton.] The history is way too rich, too significant for the citizenry to ignore. <br />By the way, I am a member of another church in Easton for which I would not expect the same attention.Timothy Goldsmithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-35498014818956542082018-11-17T16:34:12.979-05:002018-11-17T16:34:12.979-05:00Can't blame Dowd for using his insider economi...Can't blame Dowd for using his insider economic development ties at the county to grab for some easy cash for his church rehab.

They are fighting hard for him on this one. The republicans wanting to give him money is no surprise.
