The First Mobile Home, Black Churches

Now just consider Addy of the curious sorts.She has been all throughout the coastal waterway,this slave cabin,that slave cabin and of course church,the epicenter of the black community. And she truly believes the black church was the first portable modular premanufactured home.All the churches look the same.You don't have to ask where the bathroom is,the kitchen, the deacon room, or the cemetery.They are all built the same.So my questions,was this an earlier version of Negro shui.Did the building have to face the east,did so many pews have to be in the room, was the men's bathroom always on the right,and the women's on the left,and how is it they all have the table in the same place when you walk through the front door. And they all sit by the same big oak tree at the same angle.

Disclosure:Addy is only talking of the churches where the baptisms occurred in the local water and you had to clear the tally wackers and alligators away before the dunking was done to heaven.
