My immediate thought was please please please don't let it be near here. AL's three largest Baptist churches are all in the B'ham area (of course) but the fourth largest is just "downtown" -- turns out it got to be third largest by having two different locations, which I consider cheating.

Fortunately, it all turned out to be a joke. But it may have given some people ideas.
