Im not christian. Im an exterminator. They seem real friendly, personable and nice. The church part is real big and the wood is beautifully crafted. Theres a museum in the basement and a crypt where the founder is entombed. It is a very clean and well kept place. Im not xtian so i cant speak on what they do religion wise but im sure its nice for xtians.

Richard Allen was a real live Christian hero. It was an honor to go to his church. He dragged the dead victims out of their homes during the yellow fever epidemic . He said Christ will protect me. And He did!
