This erection has church officials hot and
bothered.
A spokesman for an Illinois Christian
Science church that looks like a penis
when viewed from above has come out of
the woodwork to decry the building's
newfound Internet fame.
"We didn’t design it to be seen from
above," Scott Shepherd told
SaukValley.com last week. Local
architect John McLane, who did not
design the church, told the site he
believes it's "a little bit of a stretch" to
claim that the aerial view of the
structure looks like a penis. We'll let you
decide for yourself:
The church, which is located in the town
of Dixon (indeed), was designed by an
architect who McLane guesses "probably"
designed it that way by accident,
according to SaukValley.com. Shepherd
noted that the shape makes sense for the
needs of the church because it allows for
ample natural light as well as space for a
sanctuary.
In any case, the church has maintained a
great sense of humor about the whole
thing, posting a Facebook message late
last month stating, "Fig leaf coming
soon."
The church's slogan is "Rising up."
