[edit] History
It was at the turn of the last century that Malton's businesses boomed and many people came in to see to the "gold rush" that was beginning to occur. Two Presbyterian preachers, Rev. Dr. William Paisley and Rev. Andrew Harewood, came into this town to establish a church. They eventually managed to buy a property and build a church, which came to be known as Harewood - St Celestine's Maltonite Church.
The next decades saw a period of growth, most notably during the 1920's with Pastor Daniel Orendain's leadership. Then World War II came. With the war, the church was obliterated by a German bomb that took out most of the town. After all that, a pastor came along, Rev. Mark Ryerson, known to this game as GeneralMeurow. He singlehandedly rebuilt the church and made it into what it is today. He even stayed during the outbreak and did work in the TAR, as part of its 1st Division.
Then suddenly, he went away, leaving an empty church. It was during this period that another man, P02 Samuel, was walking around Malton looking for a home. He saw this derelict old church and decided to stay. He, at first, looked for its real owner, but after two months of searching, and words from the TAR Leadership,
"Actually we haven't maintained that church since GeneralMeurow. we maintain the barricades still but thats about it.--Sharline Jade 17:38, 17 August 2007 (BST)"
he decided to stay permanently and became its pastor. Recently, St. Celestine's celebrated its 100th Anniversary last 21 October 2007. Unfortunately the event was marked by its pastor being PKed by the RSST.
[edit] Radio Broadcasts
P02 Samuel has a radio ministry attached to the church, "The Master's Touch", which airs usually on 26.82 MHz. It has been known for its anti-PKer stance, which usually results in his being PKed after some broadcasts.

A four-story red-brick building, its doorway flanked by statues.
St Dionysius's Church is found in the southern section of Wyke Hills, conveniently located near the Buckley Mall, Julie General Hospital, a NecroTech building, and Screech Lane Police Dept. The parish was led by Vicar Lawrence Scarman, who realized that salvation may also come in the form of grilled food. Thusly, the church was converted over to a quite trendy bar and grill. When in southern Wyke Hills, stop by for some friends and food. (N.B.: If you have been recently zombified, these may be the same thing.)

[edit] Description
St. Maximillians's Church has become the permenant sight of Reverend Scrape's Parish. The good reverend has asked all souls that pass it's doors to ensure that they are very strongly barricaded, and no more - to allow lost souls to seek refuge.
It is said when visiting, with a simple request Reverend Scrape will give you his blessing, and shelter.
St. Maximillians is currently under the protection of Section 13
All Section 13 members make a sort of pilgramage to this location to swear an oath of loyalty, and to have it witnessed by Reverend Scrape himself.
