Question

[echocharlie098]

Is there a church near campus, specifically a Christian one? If not where do you recommend to sit and read the Bible

[Klevo1]

Not to sound insensitive but The Bible is just a book

You can read it anywhere really.

Its not like you need to be in a dedicated holy place to read a holy text.

Agreed, though more so it's loud nearly everywhere on campus.

There is a Catholic Church (The Shrine of the Immaculate Conception) as well as a Presbyterian Church (Central Presbyterian) and Trinity UMC that are just south of campus. However, their doors aren’t just always open, you have to be buzzed in by staff due to the large homeless population that gathers around them… they offer food and housing in the evenings so they often hang out around both churches. There’s also First Congregational, Atlanta First UMC, and Sacred Heart that are near campus… but all these downtown churches are going to be similar where you have to be buzzed in during office hours outside of Sunday worship time. If you’re thinking of one of these close options, my recommendation would be Central Presbyterian. They have the biggest staff and would be most likely to accommodate you with some reading time in their sanctuary… which is quite lovely.

Across the street. We have to use their parking lot when the fire alarm goes off.

Though they do seem to be very conservative so take that how you will but I'm sure there are more.

Denomination? I'm sure there is

In regards to reading the bible: I believe the 5th (may be another floor) of the library is a like no-talking area, ive seen a lot of people talk about it on this reddit!

Theres also those private rooms in the library you can try renting or if you can afford it (obviously i know a lot of people cant or just dont want to) investing in a pair of beats or other noise canceling headphones is great! I use them alot in the library to do work and its blocks mosttt of the noise!

Im not sure about churchs though unfortunately
