I was surprised that they packed up so soon after lunchtime.
As a person who rarely emerges before noon, I find this often.
For example - the 'well woman' clinic at my doc is from 8.30 to 9.30am.
At that time only women who are well can easily attend

That sounds like a much clearer version of what I was told Gayle

So how do you sell a church?

They've got a website :

They're a non-denominational christian 'church' - not technically a church. I suppose there's a network of them around the country so when one wants to sell up there's a ready made market. I guess!!!

I think you 2 filled in all the blanks for me nicely, thanks. I just told the short story to save me doing all the typing

From what I was told you are both right with what you put.

To me a church is a congregation of people. I know there's the building they meet in and all that sort of stuff but I've been a member of the same church for donkeys years and met in all sorts of different buildings, rented rooms and purpose built, sometimes shared, chapels. It's always been the same church though because the church has been/is the members. Just seems an odd sort of thing to do, to sell a church (as opposed to selling the building)

The Hope Centre wasn't sold.It was passed on to Dave Shore who seemed to see it as a money-making opportunity.Many of the people who paid towards and helped build the church then left.

Brian was pushed out and many other people left when Dave Shore took over.

I always find it odd that it's a licensed property, with a great big bar in there.

If I think of Jesus, I never picture him lent on a bar.

Apparently when an alcohol lisense was applied for, it was on the understanding it was to cover catered for celebrations, such as weddings etc., and now it seems to be a seven day a week pub.

God moves in mysterious ways.

Don't.

Best leave him alone.

He's just gearing himself up.

Soon he'll be throwing glasses about, and overturning the tills, whilst shouting about his house being a house of prayer for all nations, and not a den for robbers.
