God's Ark of Safety
Encyclopedia : G : GO : GOD : God's Ark of Safety
God's Ark of Safety is a non-denominational Christian ministry in Frostburg, Maryland led by Pastor Richard Greene. On Easter, 1976, Greene began building a replica of Noah's Ark atop a prominent hillside along Interstate 68 featuring a sign that announces "Noah's Ark Being Rebuilt Here!" As of 2006, the structure is still just a frame, but the incomplete Ark has drawn attention from foreign film crews and national publications, and Pastor Greene has promoted the ministry on worldwide tours, his own radio and television show, and The 700 Club. According to Greene, God's Ark of Safety supports 20 missionaries worldwide.
The Ark is featured on the front cover and chapter 4 of Timothy Beal's book Roadside Religion: In Search of the Sacred, the Strange, and the Substance of Faith.
