Database Manager on May 24th, 2010:

Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- The congregation moved to a suburban location ca. 1961 and the organ was moved by George Babb. Huge new Worship Center completed c.1987 with 5/187 Rodgers pipe organ, and the Casavant remained in what is now called the Old Sanctuary; the congregation of over 60,000 is the largest Baptist church in the world.
