| HISTORY of MACON CO. GA. The Church That Was Cut in Two Just across the Macon Co. line in Taylor Co., but drawing much of it's membership from Macon Co. was a primitive Baptist church called Prosperity Church. When missions began to be a subject of discussion and disruption in the Baptist Churches, this church took the subject very seriousley. Miley passmore, a loyal contributor to the church, was opposed to Missions and determined that his church not accept such ideas. While the discussion was warmest, he called roll of the members, causing the old believers to sit on the right and those accepting the new idea on the left. The next day, he took his slaves and sawed the church exactly half in two from the roof to the foundation and moved the half which clung to the old faith so it would not be contaminated. |
