How many church buildings are there in Britain? When I wander about I love to visit churches. Some of the buildings are amazing and are an extraordinary expression of architectural genius. Alas others look like a box of Grey dull Lego bricks having collapsed and held together in ugly clumps. Often the interiors are a stunning reflections of peoples expression of faith and desire to be with their chosen God. Other interiors are plain and are warmed by the congregation's approach. Yet so many churches are shut to become demolished or turned into businesses or homes, their exterior hints at a past more keen at attending church. Some churches although abandoned by a regular congregation and have no presiding minister/priest/religious leader are kept open and maintained so that people like me can wander in and feel the atmosphere and marvel at the buildings existence. I think we should all say a prayer in thanks giving for places that we can sit and be peaceful in. Have a lovely day x
