Thread Name: Public concerts in 'churches' ?
Subject: RE: Public concerts in 'churches' ?
The concert goers' financial contribution is unlikely to cover more than heat, lighting and basic overheads. Non-religious use is increasingly the main source of income for churches. Helping to stop a historic building from falling down is hardly underwriting individual aspects of dogma. The logical conclusion to that mindset would be to bulldoze York Minster and Canterbury Cathedral and put up a perfectly good Asda in their place.
