In the spirit of the Faith in the Civil War series, I recently took a few photographs of a church local to me in the town of Niles, Michigan. I have never been inside this Methodist church but I've seen it for years from the outside. I have been inside other churches from or predating the Civil War and I must admit it always has been a moving experience. If our readers ever have the opportunity to visit a church or indeed any structure with this kind of age, I recommend they do so. There is the old saying "If the walls could talk..." If you know what you are listening for, perhaps they do.
For the record, this is not an endorsement of any one particular branch of Christianity or specific religion. There are other churches this old around and I hope to add pictures of them at some point. I happened to be passing this one at the time and remembered how old it was so I stopped.
As I know nothing of the church's history aside from what is on the sign, I'll just let the pictures tell the story.
