Great piece. Thanks for posting the details about the church and Maas, which I find fascinating. Travel IS about story and exploration. Why else travel if not to learn?

That's a fascinating bit of history, PHeymont. I'm not sure I know of another church that was literally physically divided to serve two congregations. Anyone else know of any?

Actually, I do know of another, and it’s been featured on TravelGumbo! But that was a different sort of division.

I am glad that there is no monument or memorial at the site. An empty dirt parking lot is more than the tyrant deserves.
