Earliest American Church

Last weekend I was in Jamestown (the first permanent English settlement) and saw a huge building – a church! The settlers were instructed to initially construct 3 public buildings inside the fort: a storehouse, a guardhouse and a church, so religion was very important to these people.

I took my new Kodak Zi8 mini HD video recorder with me just in case I saw something interesting. I was with CBN News producer Tracy Winborn – she shot my video introduction as well as helped produce the clip. It even ended up on CBN News last week.
