THE WORLD'S SMALLEST CHURCH
By Joy Junction (09/09/05)
Only three people went to church in Oneida, New York, on one recent Sunday - yet they were turning visitors away at the door.
Cross Island Chapel, the world's smallest church, a feature in a park which sits on wooden pilings in the middle of a pond, accessible only by rowing boat - received a visit from (webzine) a "Ship of Fools' Mystery Worshiper" for a full service.
According to its web site, "The aim of the Mystery Worship Project is to ‘review' worship services and give people an idea of what goes on in a wide variety of churches – and also to give the churches themselves a shot in the arm by showing them how they look to outsiders" (www.shipoffools.com/Mystery/become.html)
Built in 1989, the chapel is a tiny white box with a floor area of just 28.68 square feet.
"The (janitor) told us we'd find the boat at the shore," said "The Geezer" (Mystery Worshipers adopt a pseudonym) in a Ship of Fools report. "We rowed across a pond covered with algae that gave it the appearance of thick pea soup. Several passers-by stopped their cars and got out. If they were expecting us to ferry them to the chapel, I'm afraid they were left disappointed. Three of us packed the church."
According to "The Geezer," Evening Prayer Rite II was observed from the 1979 Prayer Book. Two candles, a crucifix and some incense were placed on a makeshift altar. There was a reading, and prayers were said for the victims of Hurricane Katrina. There was no sermon as such - but there was a discussion of the day's set readings.
"The entire experience was heavenly - a perfect way to spend a warm, late summer afternoon," recounted "The Geezer" in The Ship of Fools report. "The angle of the sun shining through one of the stained glass windows cast an image on the wall that looked something like an apparition."
"The Geezer" said the service make the him feel glad to be a Christian.
"Yes," said "The Geezer" in his Mystery Worshiper report. "After all, when two or three are gathered together in Christ's name, Christ Himself is there."
And what one thing will he remember about the event in a week?
"The awesome, calm beauty of the afternoon and entire event," "The Geezer" said in his report.
Mystery Worshipers are commissioned by www.shipoffools.com, a webzine and global interactive community.
In the last seven years, more than 1,000 reports have been published from services across the globe.

The United States Is Being Overthrown By Our Politicians - "A silent but all-reaching coup is taking place within the
United States. This coup is not being directed by bomb-laden Muslim terrorists, nor will it ever be covered by the mainstream media.
The seditious act is being carried out by our very own elected officials, with President Bush leading the insurrection."
"The FDA has conveniently used the excuse of looking out for consumer safety to increase their perverse regulatory power,
undermine free speech, disrupt commerce, and generally get in the way of helping people improve their health. The "half-truth" of
the safety issue is used as a ploy to reduce the rights of Americans, one freedom at a time. Once again, the FDA is seeking more
police power to intimidate supplement companies. This is one step in an overall FDA master plan to eliminate therapeutic nutritional
supplements from the free market. Those who lose are the American public." The FDA - A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing
