Cause of blaze in Marion may be accidental
Massie of Good Fight of Faith said the 60 year old Baptist church in Marion is a total loss after a fire. Insurance adjustors will determine figures while the congregation, about 100 on Sundays, mourns losses to instruments, a projector system and a sound booth. The church, purchased in 1999 or 2000, remains a faith community rebuilt in time.
