Ancient Church Remains

And we thought megachurches were an invention of modernity. Looks like big churches have been around from the beginning. Archeologists have found an early Christian church in the Syrian desert, "Christianity came to Palmyra in the year 312, at a time when Christians had begun to build churches," he said. "And this one is huge -- the biggest ever found in Syria. It dates to the fourth or fifth centuries after Jesus Christ." Stories like this always make us think. Did the folks in Palmrya run a multi-million dollar capital campaign to fund their building program the way big name churches here do? Just wondering.
