Churches Dissapearing In the UK

The below video is an interview with a gentleman (Sir Roy Strong) who is behind an initiative to turn abandoned church buildings, in his country, into a useful community space. It is really too bad that these churches didn’t maintain that type of attitude while they still had people in them. That is one of the reasons I am so excited about our church facilities and campus maintaining a community friendly posture on a daily basis. During seasons of nice weather people enjoy the walking path on rollerblades or walking their dog. Daily there are families on our campus bringing kids to our pre-school and many them don’t attend our church. Now with a new gymnasium I am looking forward to basketball, indoor soccer and other activities at our facilities and seeing sports teams utilizing our field space. Hopefully CCV can be a force of change in our region and an encouragement to other churches. The last thing I want to see in our area is this discussion that they are having now in England.
