Sue - happy sparrow...
Early morning light through the trees in Easton Square..... church and old school rooms (1878) in my village Easton...
The school was first... 1878, the church was next 1907).
This is one of several churches in my village... there is a Church of England church in its own grounds.... this is the Methodist church... the building is shared by the Salvation Army... they work together... up the road there is a church whose meetings are held in the YMCA building...
In my view (purely a personal view)... On Portland, as our faith fails and changes, the churches come together. They are part of the community that already exists and central to my mother's generation.... the churches grow by focussing on the needs of the people regardless of faith.... I do not know whether their numbers grow... but they are part of our community first...
