The O Globo newspaper website quoted fire officials as saying between 400 and 500 people had been worshiping at the Igreja Renascer em Cristo (Reborn in Christ Church) in Sao Paulo's southern district when the structure collapsed. But the Church said in a statement that only about 60 people had been inside, O Globo reported The cause of the collapse, which happened just before 7 p.m (2100 GMT), was unclear. Witnesses told O Globo that a strong wind had blown through the church then there was a bang and the ceiling collapsed, according to O Globo "It was very quick The ceiling started to fall as if it were dominoes I was able to get out because I was next to the exit. I saw a lot of people stumbling over chairs," said Luciana Costa, an events organizer. Famed Brazilian soccer player Kaka is a member of the Reborn in Christ Church and was married there in December 2005 The church can hold around 2,000 worshipers.

The Reborn in Christ Church is among the biggest of Brazil's hundreds of evangelical denominations that draw millions of worshipers each week. It was founded in 1986 by Estevam and Sonia Hernandes, a couple who were arrested in Miami in 2007 for failing to declare a large sum of cash brought into the United States. Brazilian media reported in October that the country's Supreme Court had suspended Brazil's request for the couple to be extradited from the United States. They are wanted in Brazil on money laundering charges.(Reporting by Ana Nicolaci da Costa and Peter Murphy; editing by Stuart Grudgings and Chris Wilson).

Teams from the ACC and SEC match up on Saturday night when ACC leader Georgia Tech travels to Nashville to take on the Vanderbilt Commodores. The Yellow Jackets have the ACC Coastal Division title in their sights, but cannot afford a letdown against a pesky Vandy team that nearly beat South Carolina last week.The two head coaches have some history against each other competing for Southern Conference titles at Furman (Bobby Johnson) and Georgia Southern (Paul Johnson) in the late '90s and early '00s. Vegas has installed GT as 12-point favorites after opening at 13.5.Three Keys For A Vanderbilt Cover1. Stop The Option Inside OutThere is no blueprint for stopping this offense, but the teams that have the most success have stopped the run up the middle first and forced the pitch outside. The pitch forces the most errors for GT and bogs down its offense.2. Get Some Offense The anemic Commodores offense is averaging just 323 yards and 17 points per game on the season. It has gotten even worse as of late, with Vandy scoring 11 points per game over its last three games with under 300 yards of offense.

Control The BallGeorgia Tech is tops in the nation in time of possession at nearly 35 minutes per game. Cover KicksVandy freshman Warren Norman has two kickoff returns for touchdown this season and averages nearly 30 yards per return. GT opponents have already taken one back this season and are getting nearly 25 yards per return Also, GT has just one touchback this season.3. Come Out With Energy As I mentioned earlier, this game is a little different for Ga Tech because it is a non-conference game in the middle of the season against an SEC bottom-feeder. Also, the atmosphere is not going to be even close to what Miss State hasespecially if the weather is sour. The Yellow Jackets need to put this game away in the first half and not allow Vandy to gain confidence at home.PredictionGeorgia Tech has really turned it up in its last three games, especially on offense, and if the Jackets keep executing teams will have a very tough time stopping them. But, if any coach is going to know GT's offense it is Bobby Johnson from his days at Furman.However, Vandy simply does not have the players to line up man-for-man and beat Georgia Tech.
