Another church to close
Les Hellawell
Pudsey Baptist church (Leeds) has announced it is to close
after 158 years. According to the Pudsey Times they can
no longer afford to maintain the building.
A spokeswoman said:
"The roof was leaking and the damp was a major problem.
Because we are such a small congregation with few young
people, this was not enough to make a loan viable.."
Most of the congregation are in their 70's and 80's.
They are hoping the building will be turned into flats
rather like former the grand methodist church at the bottom
of Leeds Rd. in Bradford. A listed building, this place
was abandoned years ago and subsequent to a
fire was hardly more than a shell.
Soon all these decaying and rotton religious remnants of a
once superstitious age will be gone and good riddance too.

really superb. You'd think there would be some kind of secular use for
some of them. I seem to remember one in Mid-Wales being used as a

Throughout Europe, many former churches have been turned to secular use.
One large medieval church in Edinburgh has become the city's fine arts
center, for example, and a fine gothic church in Amsterdam now serve as
the city's premier theater stage.

In your dreams, my friend. The most significant fact about the Church
is not that it is subject to decline and decay like all things of this
world, but rather its resurrection from apparent demise. E.g., the
Church in Russia and other atheist dominated countries as a contemporary
case in point. Perhaps you haven't heard of the spread of Christianity
in Africa and South America as well.

Well, at least now, they are being beneficial to humanity. But I do think
it is nice to see some of that old architecture maintained.

Yeah, as long as we can maintain ignorance and stupidity for the masses,
the church can survive.

Hmmm. The advanced modern technical societies of Gabon, Sudan, Bolivia
and Guatamala. Yup, Da Church is *really* on the march. Especially
among those people who are ignorant about indoor plumbing.

I have passed this particular church several times but never even
noticed it. They usually have banners outside with silly messages,
the funniest of course being "Jesus Saves". The grandest Weslyan
chapel in Pudsey was closed long ago and has become part of quaint
little shopping centre around some old lanes and squares.

It's a particular problem in York which has a fine legacy of medieval
churches within the walls in addition to the Minster nearly all of
them redundant, Together York has the largest collection of medieval
stained glass in Europe. One of the finest churches has been superbly
converted into the museum of York,with a platfor to see one of the
larger windows, whilst another is displayed as a museum or ancient
building in its own right.
Between Bradford and Cleckheaton a former classically designed
church now claims to be the largest Indian restaurant in the world.
So instead of being a place of misery it is now a place of pleasure

That's a whopping 1.4 percent drop in a 102 year period. Christianity's
2000 year history calls for the long term perspective. There have been
centuries of growth and others of decline all along the time line, I
would suspect. It's the long haul that makes the important difference.

How atypical of the brainwashed believing their own choir.
Drag out third world evangelizing to poor, suffering and illiterate
people as a banner for belief.
Yeah, right. Proof of a god.

The grandest cathedral in St. Petersburg is such a museum so I
understand. We were there a few weeks ago and only had time to
see the outside. Most of the churches we saw there were either museums
or abandoned. Religion is of course freely permitted now (though it
was never banned entirely) but the numbers of worshippers are much
lower than pre-revolution. Since the autocratic authoritatian Orthodox
church worked hand-in-glove with and supported the corrupt Czars it
is hardly any wonder the people rejected them at the Revolution.

Mike Painter
"Staid, secure publisher James Stewart leads a quiet life until he meets his
bewitching downstairs neighbor, Kim Novak. John Van Druten's lighthearted
Broadway comedy becomes a lush if lightweight romantic vehicle for Stewart
and Novak, who would reunite for Hitchcock's Vertigo the next year. Novak is
at her best as a Greenwich witch halfway between the worlds of magic and
mortals, looking after her dotty aunt (Elsa Lanchester) and mischievous
warlock brother (Jack Lemmon) as they keep their skills in practice. Novak's
specialty is making men fall for her, but it's a one-way street: when a
witch falls in love, she loses her powers. Director Richard Quine gives the
witches an almost beatnik sensibility, a real Greenwich Village subculture
hanging out in underground clubs and smart curio shops. Elegantly
photographed in rich, glowing colors by James Wong Howe, Bell, Book and
Candle is a fantasy world in New York set to a funky bongo-laced jazz score
by George Duning. Quine's gliding camera is somewhat marred by abrupt
editing, but his handling of actors is superb, in particular Novak, whose
mysterious beauty masks inner turmoil and romantic yearnings. Ernie Kovacs
appears as a wry author whose specialty is the supernatural, and Hermione
Gingold is suitably florid as a witch elder with a penchant for
theatricality. For once in his life Stewart is actually upstaged by the
slyly comic performances around him. --Sean Axmaker --This text refers to

This is basically Argumentum ad Antiquitatem.
If staying power is your criterion then you need to look at Hinduism,
which has a 3500 year history, or Vodun, thought to be some 6000 years

The Bible
If you're going to write a good bit of fantasy fiction, at least put some

bollocks and the Lord of the Rings, which one do you think we're going to
go for? The Bible with its bunch of bearded nomad hippies talking shite, or
something with fucking battles and dragons?
And I think you're forgetting the first page, which should read: 'All
characters in this book are fictitious and any resemblance to any real
persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental'.
I liked the bit when God and Jesus have a lightsaber duel on a bridge
though.
