I've read two books and looked at at least 10 different sites and not one of them says how long the siege lasted. All I get is that is happened on 11th Sept. 1649. Does that mean it only lasted that one day? If that's right, does that mean the whole town of Drogheda surrendered in one day??? I'm trying to do an essay on it and I'm completely lost-anyone got any useful information on the Siege? thanks :D

In the news:
Church May Finance Ministry by Selling Its Windows

Dwindling income and attendance have prompted the church to consider selling its Tiffany windows to fund its ministry.

ELIZABETH, N.J. -- At the turn of the last century, this city was a thriving industrial powerhouse and the congregation at St. John's Episcopal Church reflected the city's success.
The church's most prestigious families commissioned 10-foot-tall stained-glass windows from Louis Comfort Tiffany to adorn its massive stone walls. Today, the church's 100 or so members don't come close to filling its 700 seats. The once-hefty endowment has dwindled, and donations from the congregation cover the utilities and little else. Which leaves the windows.

My opinion is that true worship does not require elaborate or costly settings that could put a financial burden on the congregation.

I was just reading about the plague and how it got to Europe due to the travelers, carrying the oriental rats in their loads unknowingly. But why exactly did this happen? Was God trying revive and reform the continent? Was it just an ongoing impact of sin in history?
