And if I’m tired and don’t want to talk to them, I’ll tell them I’m a Baptist evangelist.” Weibel has served in Christian ministry for nearly 40 years.

Voters turn down Vandergrift library tax referendum

Vandergrift voters rejected the idea of a library tax. Because the library is partially funded by the borough, the tax would have earmarked some tax money for the exclusive use of the Vandergrift Public Library, said Vandergrift Councilwoman Marilee Kessler.

This Pennsylvania Cathedral Could Quite Easily Pass for a Church in Medieval Europe
