How many here attend church?

[Stooo]

I used to go every day. Hatches, matches and despatches now.

Many of the churches in London have been sold off and turned into flats now..No one goes anymore but the African ones still get an attendance.

We have seen many chapels turned into homes in the villages - mine had a Wesleyan Chapel which is no more.

Some of those are quite stunning when they become homes!

My small village (500 souls) had 2 churches, a monastery, a Wesleyan Chapel and a Primitive Methodist chapel. Sundays must have been busy !!

The primitive Methodist chapel is also a house (below) and there's just 1 church (the other was demolished after the Great Plague)

I never attend church then again it would be weird if I did being the godless commie bastard than I am

I attended SWP meetings with Mike McGrath - pretty close to god.

Just like the Church the SWP has its own sex abuse scandal. Best to avoid them as well

Well after my time.

The SWP had the tastiest women.
CP, shite.
IMG, barely better.
Militant, good for orthodox gays.

a house of laws that few know, yet glorify the rule of law without knowing the chapters of letters of law.

so that is the reason for the inclusion of the privilege of amendmending statutes. not to change the law as Lord belhaven prophesied but to add agreements that where not know at the time of the ratification. yet commissions where then and still to this very day are very much illegal!

Whereas in and by the Nineteenth Article in theM1 Union with Scotland Act 1706 it is amongst other Things provided That there should be a Court of Exchequer in Scotland after the said Union for deciding Questions concerning the Revenues of Customs and Excise there having the same Power and Authority in such Cases as the Court of Exchequer has in England and that the said Court of Exchequer in Scotland have Power of passing Signatures Gifts Tutories and in other Things as the Court of Exchequer

In my humble Opinion, my Lord, it is neither the natural Method, nor can it be done without great Confusion and Repetition. To say, you'll agree to the Union of the two Kingdoms, before you agree in the Terms upon which they are to be united, seems like driving the Plough before the Oxen. The Articles, which narrate the Condition seem to be the Premisses upon which the Conclusion is inferred; and, according as they are found good or bad, the Success will follow.

it is the church of the ignorant who use paper to justify tyranny.

I already answered! as yet you haven't been able to define what You are talking about! chapter is the same as chaple, church, kirk, court, temple, sanhedrin, senate parliament, house, sanctuary, etc... a place for council, social gathering, party, celebration. there really is no significant difference except for the language used! they are all buildings fashioned by the hand of Man to glorify the achievements of the imagination and rarely to celebrate what is real.

I am interested in what People have to say, not so much where they say it or what robes and other garments are worn.

the question serves no purpose beyond your own idea of what a sanctuary is.

do You worship the Divine Creator to look noble before the congregation. or do You do it in your every action when no other Person is watching?

I think it quite arrogant to even suppose that all of this was made just for us.

I went to one once, ended up married. Put me off for life.

Who was The Victim? Poor woman

Woman, what made you think it was a woman?

Yeah i agree with that and seen some really incredible conversions. It helps if you've got deep pockets and a good imagination. Saw one on a recent episode of that George Clarke tv series - a young couple who bought an abandoned church. No previous building experience and a budget of just £10k. Clarkes jaw dropped in astonishment and he told them, "you must be mad, you'll never do it". They did all the work themselves and by the time it was finished, it was like a mansion. Clarke said it was one of the few times he'd been proved totally wrong.

churches and banks have great bones---as they say in the architecture world(i think)

Visited but not attended, obviously. Weddings, christmas carol services. Places of worship feel very familiar to me because most of my childhood was spent going to temples (mostly to socialise with others kids and play hide n seek until a grumpy elder would tell us off for enjoying ourselves in a house of God, snigger, how dare we!)

Went to a wedding in a cathedral, was very grand but not at all romantic like the church weddings were. Too grand, not intimate and meaningful at all.
