I like the name, and the signage. I like the mention of "Baptist" under the name-- at least if I were a stranger in town I would have a better idea of what to expect on the other side of the door. I wonder how many churches have been led to change their name due to the antics of the Westboro mob?

At the Orange Booth on street fair weekend we had several young people (teenagers/early 20s) come up and ask whether we were affiliated with the Kansas Kooks (I've forgotten what term they used, but it was obvious they meant Westboro); one of them said "Thank God!" when we replied in the negative. If we'd said yes, I don't know if he would have trusted our Kool-Aid.
