It is sad to hear and see lots of Christian churches closing, but I’m one who doesn’t attend regular church now. It’s a case of if we don’t use it we lose it. Although originally Catholic, my girls went to C if E schools and I got to love the hymns and also the kindness and friendliness of vicars in villages where we lived .
I suppose all faiths have modernised. I watch Songs of praise on a Sunday, hoping to hear some well known C of E hymns, occasionally some are included, but I’m not keen on what they call the happy clappy groups., but all Christian’s and it’s nice to see.
