France: A second church burned over the weekend. The Saint-Georges de Descartes was damaged on Sunday, July 9. The cause of the fire has not been determined, though lightning is suspected. Please pray for the congregations affected by the rash of church fires across France. pic.twitter.com/pLixW9Vu8k

this is just horrible. I was out on my balcony and heard and saw all the commotion with fire trucks and police . Sorry for the congregation. Hopefully, there were no injuries .
Please pray for the people of First Dallas. Our office is blocks away. I have never seen a fire like this. God have mercy. https://t.co/vZLVZXeZAC pic.twitter.com/Ye56qiiREA

Baptized there, married there, had dad's funeral there. Never forget a lifetime of memories
It was unclear on the news - was that the "original" (i.e. oldest currently standing) sanctuary?
I have never been and only familiar with the church via Texas Baptist politics.
When did this building serve as the sanctuary?
What is the main sanctuary now and when was it built?
Thanks!
In terms of motives ... will not speculate ... but Jeffress is an outspoken Trump guy, so nothing would surprise me.

Very sad to see this happen. The old sanctuary was historic and the best part of the church by far. I was baptized there so its a special place to me. If anything had to catch fire there it shoulda been that ugly new sanctuary.
