this. . .is a church?

This building will replace the old Calvary Baptist Church in Clearwater, Florida (see below). To be fair, I tried to find a good angle for this shot, but if this building has a good angle it isn't visible from the road. If this building has stained glass windows, like the old church, they are not visible from the road, either. This building screams "insurance company headquarters," not "church." The only church-y thing about it is the cross, made of I-beams and attached to the wall with straps, like an afterthought. Methodist churches have plain crosses. Baptist churches usually don't, or at least that's what I learned growing up in one. The old church does not have a cross. Click this photo for a larger image. Larger, but not better. No, not better at all.
