Secular Britain
whoa this hits home
the church no longer fit for purpose
and we no longer fit for church
"Banishing the spiritual, the transcendent
As if they had been fact checked."
reading this takes me back
I am in a dark empty church with stained glass windows
in East Berlin before The Wall came down
suddenly
a young woman in a white dress
and a young man in a suit
slip silently in the door below...
and leave soon after
disappearing
like water
in a desert
That was quite a moment you experienced in Berlin! Churches are magical places when they are left to be churches even if the numbers are very small.
