Chapel Update
For those who have been following the Kuehl's potential chapel purchase, I want to relay some updated information about the situation.
Our team leader, Matt, was able to talk with Dan Kuehl recently and learned that although there is still hope that their church-planting ministry will be able to get the chapel, it is highly unlikely that they will get the chapel before our team arrives.
The developer who owns the chapel has plans to turn it in to condominiums. In fact, some of the condominiums have already been sold. This is a significant complication.
Dan, however, still has hope. Evidently Senlis, because of it's narrow streets and limited parking, has a city ordinance that new housing be built along with new parking. Since there are not obvious areas for parking around the chapel as-is, the builder may have to dig underneath the church, which in turn, may bring along costly archaeological fees due to the age of the structure.
I'll relay more as I receive it.
