A trip to that office park during the day rendered both pictures and new information. We'd no idea that, although their doors are on opposite sides of the park (Basic Church facing north), the two churches share a hallway and are only one door apart! One wonders if there is much friendly, Christian discourse between the congregants.
A stroll east along the inner hall revealed the back door of the North Texas Branch of NOAA. Yes, that NOAA. So, on one side is fire & brimstone & literal interpretation of the Bible, and on the other a government-sponsored scientific organization. If I worked at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, I'm not entirely sure that I could resist the temptation to inundate the churches with fliers and packets reiterating that global warming is real, that people caused it, and that the earth is not just 6000 years old.
