Saving British Churches
With the decline of religion in Britain and smaller congregations attending Services The Diocese and church leaders in resent years have had to make difficult decisions as what to do with village churches throughout England’s Countryside that no longer have congregations large enough to keep them operating. Sadly many just simply close their doors, lay empty,unused, and fall into disrepair! Until a developer or private buyer appears, to convert these once spiritual places into apartments, single family dwellings or sadly a Night Club! Some might argue that this is perhaps Sacrilegious, an affront to religion itself. (”Possibly)”
I however tend to think that maybe another kind of spiritual energy is being passed on to the new inhabitants!
Additionally if the structural integrity of these fine old buildings has not been compromised:
If one can still see and enjoy from a distance that it is the same old church, that has been a spiritual icon in the area for hundreds of years, which has now been given a new lease of life for hundreds more! Then I for one have little objection! A far better alternative to the Wrecking Ball, and ultimately another Walmart !!
