What’s the point of church? – NYT Mini Crossword answer (April 10)

Pray for the answer.

What’s the point of church? I can’t say I’m a fan, but I get the appeal. It can unite people, offering a community to those who need one. But I’m an atheist, so what do I know? Well, I at least know the answer to today’s NYT Mini Crossword.

What’s the point of church? – NYT Mini Crossword answer

Got it yet? The answer to seven across in the April 10 NYT Mini Crossword is “SPIRE.”

I was getting all philosophical for a minute before realizing I had the wrong end of the stick. The NYT is cheeky sometimes, and that’s certainly the case with this crossword clue. A spire is literally the top of a church. It’s the pointed pyramidal roof at the very top of the building.

I struggled with this clue but got there in the end. Again, I’m not religious and don’t see the point of church. But each to their own. I’m not here to judge—I’m just here to help you with the crossword. Don’t shoot the messenger. Please, in the name of Christ. I beg you.
