you are a great writer. two quick notes, cause you wandered into my territory --

- there are almost NO "first church of christs" as the "church of christ" as a fellowship is anabaptist and would never be caught dead being publicly prideful. (privately-- OF COURSE) -- their congregations are almost always named after geography. "Main Street Church of Christ" "Mayberry Church of Christ" etc.

- nobody says East Kentucky -- the phrase is always "Eastern Kentucky." But yes-- one of the last places of abject poverty in the US (well, abject white poverty).

sources - went to college in kentucky and am currently a member of Otter Creek (a church of christ).
