#8: I assume nobody will be allowed in this church as they roll it gently to a new site?

If they were, there'd be a unique opportunity for some clergybeing to give a moving sermon.

Yes, I expect you're right that no people are in the church during the move. But, of course, as the House of G*d, He is always there. Trundling along down the road. Truly, the Lord moves in mysterious ways.

(Except, last I checked a few minutes ago, they'd paused the move due to high winds.)
