Archaeologists Find Church in Jamestown, VA; Believed to Be First Protestant Church in U.S.

The Christian Broadcast Network website reports today (November 25, 2010) that archaeologists in Jamestown, Virginia have found what appears to be the remains of the original 1608 church at James Fort, where Pocahontas was married.

Pocahontas is legendary best known for saving the life of Capt. John Smith, who helped establish Jamestown in 1607.

Jamestown archaeologist Bill Kelso said he's 99 percent sure he and his team have discovered the first substantial Protestant church in America -- the 1608 church.

"The fort was supposed to have been lost to the river, to erosion. No one could find it," Kelso said.
