"Oldest Continuous" Seems Bogus edit

We take it for granted that most, perhaps all, of the wood in the world's oldest building might be changed over the centuries, but the building stays in the same place, looks the same pretty much, and has some continuity.

Here we have an alleged continuity of different buildings with different names at different places, different congregations and different theologies.

The first sentence of the article claims refers to "The Marble Collegiate Church, founded in 1628..." If that were not dishonest, then there would have been a Marble Collegiate Church somewhere in 1629.

There wasn't.

Could we say that some members of this church "jocularly claim that..."?
