[edit] Expansion

I am aware that the section on Pastor Bob is the result of a discussion which ended up merging his article into this one, but there is a lot of information here that is not relevant to the church, and the writing used in that section is not really appropriate for Wikipedia. There are too many direct quotes, and it's totally unsourced. I don't want to take a chainsaw to someone's work, but it really needs to be condensed and restructured. The whole article needs to have some of the paragraphs condensed, as it is filled with stubby, one-sentence paragraphs.

Adding in the "See also" and "References" sections actually created enough sections to de-stub the article, so I pulled the first paragraph as the lede, and renamed the rest of the section as "Church activities", which is not precisely what I mean, but it's the best approximation of what the church does (other than the rather obvious Sunday services).

The second reference is a dead link to a Sun-Sentinel article from six years ago; could someone find a working link, or at least find out the citation information for the article (title of article, writer, date, page info, if pulling from an offline source)? I properly formatted the other two citations, and corrected the URL for one of them.

I'm not the best person to deal with this article, but hopefully my changes and comments will spur some interest in improving the article. Horologium t-c 15:46, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
