To passersby, it’s an ordinary property, but behind the home lies a church, that’s anything but ordinary.
By outsiders, this church has many names, including the 2x2s, The Way, and The Truth. But inside, they deny those names, instead they said their group has no name — ‘The Church With No Name.’
Its a sect of Christianity that operates worldwide, with a presence here in Albany County. John Pikcilingis was born and raised in Albany County — on the outside, his life seemed perfectly normal, but on the inside, he was part of the church with no name.
“You get the impression that it is a very good place, and since we weren’t allowed to see outside too much, it was hard to make a good comparison,” said John.
