The news that Pastor Eric Jones moved his congregation from Plainfield to Charlotte, NC, in 2006 just keeps going 'round and 'round.
I picked up the story in its first iteration in CLIPS on August 17 (see here), from the Charlotte Observer, whose reporter Tim Funk reported the original story (see here).
One of the wonders of the Internet is that I can keep tabs on articles that contain the words 'Plainfield' and 'New Jersey'.
Lo and behold, there was a notice in the wee hours of this morning that the very same story was being recycled by the Winston-Salem Journal (see here).
Then, on checking the Courier website, the story also appears in today's online version (see here). If you get the dead tree version, however, you won't see the story.
So...
My guess is that you will see it in tomorrow's (Sunday) print edition.
Who says 'good news' doesn't have a long shelf life?
- Charlotte Observer, 8/17/09: "Most of church follows its pastor to Charlotte"
- Winston-Salem Journal, 8/29/09: "Called to Charlotte"
- Courier, 8/29/09 (online): "Most of NJ church follows its pastor to Charlotte"

If this happened 3 years ago, why is it "news?" Maybe the Courier is exhausted from all the bad news they have to report (Connolly, Sharon Robinson-Briggs, Jerry Green, Monarch condos, corruption).
