She was Queen of England and Scotland, after the two Jameses. For more, go to: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/anne_queen.shtml
Why a baptist church would choose to name itself after her is a mystery to me, though, unless the church building is in "Queen Anne Street" or "Queen Anne Road", of course.
I have a friend who is a minister in the Refomed Episcoipal Church.
He was invited to speak at Liberty Baptist College some time ago.
As he started, he asked the students to raise their hands if they had their Episcopal Bible with them.
He then mentioned that King James was Church of England - the Americian version of hte Episcopal Church.!:1_grouphug:
I really favor descriptive names for Churches.
By descriptive I mean like here in town there is the Kirklin Christian Church.
It is to the point.
I have seen another "King James Bible Church" where they said the reason is they wanted to get away from any man centered connotations in there name! Ummm...can some one inform them that King James was a man?
Praise God! Am I correct in thinking your "foxhole" was a protective shelter used by the armed forces? In the case of our church, "Foxhole" is the name of the part of part of the town of Paignton. Perhaps years ago the area was renowned for foxes. Please pray that many (people, not foxes!) will find grace in our "Foxhole", too. At present, most people who live here seem just apathetic towards the gospel.
