Back in 1620 Myles Standish and his motley crew of puritans landed at Plymouth Rock. In 2002 Mitt Romney brought some Latter Day Saints into the State House here in Boston. In 2006 a group of students now attending Harding University in Arkansas hope to found a new church in Boston, or, well, it seems Quincy is now top on the list. Boston Church Plant has been developing plans to plant Christian values here in the Hub with a new church. In the often oxymoronic ethos of Massachusetts Bostonist is sure that they will be both well received and shunned.
The first state in the United States to allow same-sex marriage, home to cities with high per-capita homosexual populations like Northampton and Provincetown, Massachusetts still has Blue Laws on the books regulating what can and can’t be done on a Sunday. At least now, after 285 years, Bostonist can buy beer on a Sunday. That ambition might not be acceptable to our Church Plant visitors here on spring break this week. Members of Boston Church Plant plan to found "Boston Metro Church" in June of 2006 to bring the "Truth of God’s Word" to the Hub. The Massachusetts Liberal label that is applied to most of the politicians that make it to national spotlight may be a little confused, Bostonist just thinks the whole state is a little confused. Perhaps that is why we love it.
