Churches of Metcalfe County, KY: Penick's Chapel United Baptist 2017-06-18 - Edmonton, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com photo(c). A picture in want of a CM Directory of Churches entry. This photo was taken on the "shortcut" across where the Iron Bridge on the East Fork used to be, past where Billy & Mildred Sparks once lived, on toward the Price's Creek Community. It was taken with a goal of placing the church in the CM Director of Churches, under the heading of "Baptists, United." Turns out, there's a heading but no entries in the category. We hope to remedy that, by making it a cause. We know there are many United Baptists in this area. Maybe they are the third most prevalent of the Baptist denominations, after Southern Baptists and its mirror image Separate Baptists. Over the years, we at ColumbiaMagazine.com have had many proofreaders, whom we greatly appreciate, correct "United Baptist" to "United Methodist Church," some from around here who ought to have known better, many from off who have only enjoyed a vicarious life in our part of Paradise, USA, Guy Babin's term for mostly what is, but for sure, what ought to be. Maybe we can put this confusion to rest. And - a by the way - are there any American Baptist Churches in our part of the world.??? Hope so. - EW Permalink | Comments?
