Talk:King's Chapel

Wording regarding cracked bell
"The English bell has hung from 1772 and was cracked and repaired by Paul Revere in 1814." Paul Revere cracked the bell? Way to drum up smithing business! I suspect this is a Richard Lederer moment and should be edited. Atlant 21:04, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)


 * The wording has since been revised, no longer implying that Revere cracked the bell. It was funny while it lasted. Hertz1888 06:39, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Fire
I remember a few years ago a Boston station announcing a fire had severely damaged the interior of the chapel but I can't find this in the article or so far on the web. Does anyone else know anything about this. If true it would be something that should be mentioned in the article. If not, ten obviously there is no reason to mention it in the article. -anonymous 10/22/1013 7:29 EST — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.109.152.72 (talk) 23:29, 22 October 2013 (UTC) As to any recent fire, it was not at King's Chapel. The only significant fire in a Boston church was at Immanuel Church a few years ago, perhaps that is what you remember.

Contradiction
Quoting Wiki, "Unitarianism":

"The first official acceptance of the Unitarian faith on the part of a congregation in America was by King's Chapel in Boston, from where James Freeman began teaching Unitarian doctrine in 1784. ..."

If that is wrong, go over there and DELETE it. If not, fix the egregious omission of that fact HERE.

Steeple
You mention "plans to add a steeple." The sentence immediately follows a fact about Nova Scotia. Therefore, it refers to Nova Scotia. If so:

1. Delete it. What are you talking about a steeple in Nova Scotia in an article about Boston for?

2. The statement is ambiguous. Do you mean: Nova Scotia didn't have the $$$ to add a steeple it never had before the fire, or didn't have the $$$ to finish the rebuild, leaving off the steeple it had before the fire?

If on the other steeple refers to King's Chapel, then fix the mess. Using the wood to build the Nova Scotia church is a fine fact. But either export it to another paragraph, or specify "King's Chapel" in the steeple fact.

I think I'll write an article that says: "Abraham Lincoln was succeeded by Andrew Johnson.  Johnson got his start as a tailor in Tennessee.  He was assassinated in 1865."
