East Peoria?

Peoria
Christian the Atheist asked:


Both Matthew “World Church of the Creator” Hale and Kent “Dr. Dino” Hovind grew up in East Peoria.

Relatives of mine lived there briefly, and I visited them twice. It didn’t seem like a haven for nuts; did I just miss that?

Is it just a weird circumstance that these two came from the same small town, or is there something about East Peoria that makes this less surprising?

And, if you aren’t from the Heart of Illinois - can you think of any other small town with a similar pair of less-than-favorite sons?

I’m wondering about some priests who used to be affiliated with the Catholic diocese of Peoria, Illinois?

Where are Father Thomas Gibson and Father Ben Rodriguez? I believe the former has explored the monastic vocation, but it’s anybody’s guess as to his whereabouts … And whatever has become of the latter?

G Money asked:


Just moved to Peoria, Arizona a few months ago. Got 4 kids and we are from the NYC area… Looking for a good christian church, something multi-cultural, and maybe even a little urban influenced. I got two young daughters who love to dance and sing, and a step daughter who is a teen who lives christian hip hop and singing as well. Please, anyone tell me a good church in the area, that is multi cultural, not just all white folks. My wife and kids are puerto rican, and I am white. And nothing too incredibly huge either!
