I found the website for Dad's church in Birmingham. I put the link over there on my list.This is where Dad was getting installed September 15, 1963, two weeks after Janet's 4th birthday, a week and a half before Linda's 11th, and the same Sunday as the bombing at the 16th St. Baptist Church 4 miles away.
Dad left in 1965 because the church refused to integrate, but their website looks pretty inclusive now. Mom says the reason they didn't want to integrate was their new building. They were worried about all the church bombings.
Based on the web address, it looks like their building is still pretty focal. A good reminder about what matters.
