Joe -

I've only seen about three of the emails, and none of them described a source. (I don't get much of that sort of junk mail, so three is a whole lot for a single subject for me.)

Of course I couldn't link to an email so that others could see it, so I had to do a web search. Using the "Time to Replace the Church Window" search line immediately popped up a good dozen web pages where the image is posted, none of which - so far as I could tell - actually included the search term. It must be "associated" with the phrase by some other means.

Since Google results are ranked almost entirely by "popularity" the number of hits on the first page or two of results probably indicates very wide recent circulation.

As I hope was clear, my opinion is just that it's really a shame that something with a simple, clear, reverent meaning has been warped into a "popular" derogatory bit of not-very-funny "humor."
