Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

About Us

St. Paul’s has been growing disciples for Christ here in Stevens Point for over 154 years. Christ is the center of our congregational life. St. Paul’s and its members and friends have been and are now vital contributors to the fabric of our community where  they work, play, go to school, volunteer. In all things, we seek to have Open Hearts, Open Minds, Open Doors. We believe that we have inherited a great faith legacy from Christian brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, neighbors, friends and faithful strangers that have gone before us. That faith legacy calls us to mature in our faith, to find ways to act justly and to serve those in need.
