This is the church at Quebec and Georgia that I mentioned a few weeks ago because it used to be a movie theater in the 1920s. Anyway, I’ve always loved the name – Fisherman of Men Church. But this weekend I noticed dozens of seagulls on the roof. I’m just saying…

OMG SO cute. Especially Lucky!
should be an after work thing so all the DC nerds can pounce.
Winnie and Teddy are too cute. I wish they were my neighbors! You don't happen to live...
i like them.
+1 I check PoP when I can, but I can't be online all the time.
LMFAO!!! Matthew 4:19 FAIL!!!!
Even though I’m a member of the tribe, I know that in the New Testament, the disciples were told to be fishermen of men. That’s where the church got its name.
I’m a member of A Tribe Called Quest, but I do know that it’s “fishers of men,” and they got it wrong.
A sign saying “Fishers of Men” might go well in Dupont, but perhaps not on GA.
I for one have always wondered why they need such a big building. That place is huge! Do they use the whole thing, or just one area?
I’m a heathen, I don’t get it.
Even heathens can use the google to see Matthew 4:19! (I just tried it and didn’t burst into flames so I know its safe)
Pennywise, I was looking for the easy way.
Speaking of google – it’s worth checking out their website. They are members of the COOLJC, which is a great acronym for Church Of Our Lord Jesus Christ, Inc.. ” During the seven years in which the church was held in his home, hundreds were baptized in Jesus Name, many were baptized with the Holy Ghost, speaking with other tongues; and many were healed by the laying on of hands through faith and the power of the living Christ. ” It’s been around since 1969 – has had weekly radio broadcasts since the mid 1970′s and yes, there are photos of the interior:

That’s impressive! Given the appearance of the outside I had pegged the inside as pretty nasty. Good for them!
To be fair, “fishers of men” is just the English translation. I don’t read Greek, but I assume the two translations are roughly equivalent, though “fisherman of men” is a little awkward.
But that roof looks like a sequence from “The Birds”. Yuck.
