"A Birmingham church destroyed by a fire Saturday afternoon has found a new, temporary home.\"Today is a strange day for me. It's the first day I wake up in 20 years and not go to 1545 Cooper Hill for services,\" Covenant Church International pastor P. Ronald Wilder said.The church\u2019s former home is nothing but a pile of rubble, but the congregation isn\u2019t letting that stop it from continuing its Sunday worship.\"When you look at that building laying down, you're looking at 20 years of blood and sweat on the ground. So I am totally hurting, crying inside,\" Wilder said.For the time being, church members are meeting in the gym at Christ Temple Deliverance Church in Ensley.Wilder said he plans to use the gymnasium until other arrangements are made.Christ Temple Deliverance Church Bishop Theo Bailey is welcoming of the other congregation, and said he wouldn\u2019t have any other way.\"I think that that's what we do in the Christian community. We are there for each other,\" Bailey said.Wilder said he and his congregation are doing their best to focus on their future and are looking forward to new beginnings.No one was inside the church when it caught fire. Wilder said he plans to meet with investigators on Monday to try to determine what happened."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
