DON'T UNDERESTIMATE THE NEED FOR A COOL CHURCH

I have lamented before about the small number of churches that are air-conditioned, a lack that has caused me a good deal of discomfort during my life.

I have written about heat so intense that it softens the varnish on the pews, turning it into a kind of glue that can trap the unsuspecting worshipper. I have described churches that are more humid than a cheese cave during a thunderstorm.
