Religion is religion, and God is God. In my opinion, you dont need a special building at all, does 'omnipresent' meant anything to anyone?
Beautiful Sig Tune

Kleo,

I understand your point but some want to meet together and a lot of people need a building in which to meet and I think one with a lot of atmosphere, a special place, helps the whole process along and is a wonderful gift for the future.

Think of all the wonderful buildings we have. I love visiting churches and seeing photographs.

I can't ever get those CNN links to work. Is the church being unused at the moment?

I'm really sorry about that Sarah, they can be a little slow to start.

The Church has not been used for some time and it had been converted internally into a factory.

I guess it's the external appearance and of course the acknowledgement of Asian culture in a previously very British environment to which they object, but it seems wrong to deny a place to worship having accepted them into the country. They show a minister speaking of tolerance and accepting human differences.

The Muslims interviewed seemed very gentle humble people but I guess people are worried about those extreme elements emerging especially after 9/11 and the bombings in London and discoveries of bomb chemicals etc in various places.

Havnt been in a church since my cousins funeral when I was about 15. I know what you mean about atmosphere, and I do like them, but they tend to give me a headache. Must be left over vibrations of dogma?
