Maine evangelicals. Not mainstream.

We will post some clips later but for now I just want to share this bit of one story. We shot in front of the church where early early in our nation a spiritual fight occurred. First against the gospel, then for it, now again against it.

Note this excerpt from the current church website: "Reverend xyz impressed upon his congregation that they should be concerned more with ethics and less with theology. He had no use for the horrors of Calvinism; he denied the trinity and the orthodox doctrine of atonement, but still did not go as far as the (the current denomination that uses the building)"

It's part of the history of the area and expresses the foundation of why the area see evangelical and Calvinism the way the do. Not a favorable viewpoint.

We're not in Kansas anymore...
