I know that in the game it is a Christian Friends Church. I wasn't saying Sabre is wrong. What I meant to say was more or less a thought to myself outloud.
Ingame = Christian Friends Church
Celtic Cross = Not Christian
I just find it weird that there is a Celtic Cross on a CF Church.

Christianity, eh? I'd expect the Catholics to pull something like...

Nothing against the Catholic religion... but they did steal almost everything they are from the Pagans. And if I have my history right... then the Celtic Cross is originaly Pagan. Not Christian. Hence the name "Celtic". Odd that the wikipage claims "though it may have older, pre-Christian origins" since it was proven to be originated way before then. But then again, it is wiki. Since anyone can edit it, you can't believe everything it says.
If Christianity uses it... then that's kinda funny.
EDIT: Actually... the wikipage looks like it contradicts itself:
There are numerous representation of crosses combined with a circle, even before Christianity. Often called "sun cross", they can be found in pagan North-West Europe (the symbol became the mark of the Norse god Odin) or in Pyrenees and in Hiberica Peninsula. But there is no evidence of a link or a common origin with the Christian cross.

If you told a devout Irish Catholic that a celtic cross was not Christian, but actually pagan you'd have a fight on your hands (at least in Boston, and definately in Southie). The original pagan celtic crosses are equal on all sides (I'm pretty sure, and I think someone actually brought that up in one of the threads) the Christain ones (like on the church) are elongated vertically (like a crusifiction cross), its Christian.

Gethsemane
For folks who can get into Second Life: is there anything around the church named Gethsemane? I ask because the original clue to Second Life, the WHERE poem, also has the lines "The garden where the killer wined/Still holds the cup for you to find." The picture behind the WHERE poem (the one with blue hand holding the chalice) was found to be a picture of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane. Since we know from Rev 2 that Cassie considers Jesus a killer (remember Wanted for Murder?), Gethsemane might be the garden where the killer wined. And since it showed up in the same poem as the clue to Second Life, the Gethsemane we're seeking might be there.
