Severity of fire

While we mustn't go overboard and use the past tense in referring to the church due to the fire, we don't want to understate it either. Multiple reliable sources, quoting the pastor, indicate that the church has been gutted, and some indicate that the church was destroyed or "nearly" destroyed.

Well, 'church building' because the 'official word' is that the community 'isn't going anywhere' (there is organizational continuity going back to 1628, even if the current teachings don't much resemble what was taught in 1628, although the denomination seems continuous).

@Beyond My Ken:

• The New York Times quotes a senior minister as saying “I see a gutted building full of smoke,” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/05/nyregion/church-fire-nyc.html
• The New York Daily News describes "a raging six-alarm fire that left only its massive stone facade intact" and says Assistant Chief John Hodgens described both the vacant building and the church as “total losses.” https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-nyc-fire-abandoned-building-historic-church-20201205-ece2vdhwnnawfbacrdvvjtemcu-story.html
• The New York Post reported "A fast-moving inferno gutted an over century-old church in the East Village." https://nypost.com/2020/12/05/massive-east-village-fire-spreads-to-nearby-church/

The church was gutted. Figureofnine (talk • contribs) 04:46, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Bell

Many of the articles about the fire refer to the historic bell - "New York's Liberty Bell". Shouldn't there be more in the article about that ? -- Beardo (talk) 04:22, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

I see more details have been added - great, thanks. -- Beardo (talk) 15:37, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
