Dudes I have something very strange to share with you.
Christ Presbyterian Church in Largo FL.
largocpc.org
There's a tab on their tacky outdated website called "cloud of witnesses".
It's a page hosting a PDF split into multiple links because boomer web design. That PDF is a piece about their architecture made for the 50th anniversary of the church, and it is something else.
They have a strange idea about the (((star of David))) to symbolize connection to the OT, cedar in the building connects to Solomon, there's an empty cross suspended in the center with a crown above.. but then there are SEVENTY TWO busts around the sanctuary which are to symbolize the cloud of witnesses a la Hebrews 12, great figures of the faith.
