My God, there are more
churches in Paducah than people!
OK, that is a slight exaggeration, but there really are a lot of
churches here, and that is a problem for me, because I have to decide which
ones to include in the Portfolio.
Initially it was pretty
easy, the obvious churches were the old downtown giants on Broadway and
Jefferson streets. That covered
the Catholics, Methodists, Episcopalians, and the Presbyterians, but what about
the Lutherans and Baptists? I
don’t want to be seen as playing favorites here. So I expanded my mental section – “Spiritual Architecture” –
and included two more churches, which I thought would keep me in reasonably
good standing in the community of the faithful.

| Bethel Baptist Church |
 |
| Lutheran Church on KY Ave. |
Until yesterday morning
when I decided to re-visit the Southside with my camera. How could I not include either of these
churches?
 |
| Burk's Chapel AME Church |
 |
| Nehemiah's Christian Church |
Maybe the churches need a portfolio of their own.
Note...the size of the steeples bears no relation to the intensity of the faithful.
