A church was a building used for an assembly of believers in Jesus Christ who come together to worship God and have fellowship with each other, through prayer and through the reading of the Bible. The word was used by analogy and simplicity for the buildings of other religions, mainly used for the different branches of Christianity, such as the Catholic Church and the Church of England. "Church" is also used to describe a body or an assembly of Christian believers of God, while "the Church" may be used to refer to the worldwide Christian religious community as a whole.

History

In the 1630s, the church in Redmond got into an involvement of note when one of its priests, Father Gareth, was in cahoots with the Animist Cult.^{[citation needed]}

Many years later, the Church of San Judas was once the site of a clash between Jack Sparrow and Left-Foot Louis after the latter's crew dug up the coffin of Francois in the church's graveyard.^[1] Sparrow later impersonated a cleric of the Church of England, one of the notorious pirate's many crimes listed in the death sentence during his appointment with the gallows at Fort Charles in Port Royal.^[2] A church would be founded on the Caribbean island of Isla Cruces and abandoned at some point prior to the search for the Dead Man's Chest,^[3][4] though it is unknown if it was the Church of England or Spain.^[5]

Features of a church

A church was typically a fairly tall building that prominently displayed a large cross. Inside a church were many rows of seats for worshippers, and possibly a pipe organ. Some churches had graveyards.^{[citation needed]}
