There's a small church on Strasburg Road in East Fallowfield that always has a big sign by the road exhorting passersby to "REPENT." I drove by the other evening and noticed that the property is for sale. I did an Internet search and found that last fall its longtime pastor was arrested on some extremely unsavory charges; he pleaded guilty and is facing sentencing in county court. "He's looking at a mandatory five years in state prison," Daily Local News court reporter Michael Rellahan tells me.
The agent notes on the property listing: "Current use is a church. Can be converted to a residential property. Needs rehabbed if converted to residence. No kitchen at present." The photos show a main room with pews and a lectern, and an office space.
The price of the 1.4-acre property has been dropped to $104,900. There's no word on whether the sign is included.
