Sermon Fodder…when you don’t build your foundation on rock…
Dateline Germany…
A German church steeple has knocked the leaning tower of Pisa from the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s most lopsided building.
The tower in the village of Suurhusen applied in June for the title and has now officially beaten the famous landmark in Pisa.
Guinness Book of Records confirmed the award after officials measured it leaning at a 5.19 degree angle compared to only 3.97 degree angle at which the tower of Pisa leans.
Olaf Kuchenbecker of the Guinness World Records office in Hamburg said: “It is a world record.”
The church was built in middle of the 13th century but a 90ft tower was added in 1450.
The tower was built on wooden foundations and the combination of the oak wood foundations and wet soil has caused the tower to slowly lean to one side over the years. (Source and the rest of the story)
