I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

Wikipedia Description: Calvary Baptist Church (Washington)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Calvary Baptist Church is a diverse and historic Baptist church in the Penn Quarter neighborhood in Washington, DC affiliated with the American Baptist Churches USA, the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, the Alliance of Baptists, and the Southern Baptist Convention. Calvary's Senior Pastor is Rev. Amy Butler. Calvary focuses on its missions as an urban church in the heart of a great city. It's vision statement is:

We are an ecumenical, multi-racial, multi-ethnic Christian body committed to living faithfully in the heart of this great city. To that end we strive to be welcoming, responsive, trusting, and prayerful in everything we do.

Calvary has long been involved in missions work. This has taken many forms. In the 70s, Calvary founded the Calvary Women's Shelter, now Calvary Women's Services, the first women's homeless shelter in Washington Metro area. Calvary's location near Chinatown has led to extensive outreach to the Chinese and Burmese communities. Calvary runs the Horizons Club, an after school program for at-risk high school students, and a summer camp, Camp Fraser near Great Falls, Virginia.

Calvary has played a significant role in Baptist life as the founding church of the Northern Baptist Convention (now the American Baptist Churches USA) in 1907, the leading church of the Baptist Sunday School movement at the turn of the century, and is unique in Baptist life for simultaneously having the Presidents of the American Baptists and the Southern Baptists as members of the congregation.

Calvary's sanctuary building was designed by the US-German architect Adolf Cluss, who also designed a number of other leading buildings in Washington.
