An old undated postcard photo but probably circa 1920 showing the Cemetery Church.

That photo shows Hebburn cemetery churches.
Protestants (Church of England) one side and RC (Roman Catholics) on the other side.
hasnt religion caused a lot of trouble in the world?

One thing I liked about working with Jimmy Guy, the verger of St Pauls Jarrow was his attitude towards religion. He always said " The doors of this church are open to every creed and race. It is God's house." It is a pity Jimmy has had to retire...

This shows the sadness it causes

A wall separating the Catholics from the Protestants in a Cemetery. Unbelievable really.

Religion is still causing wars worldwide, all so stupid.

Although I go all over the UK photographing churches and cathedrals, I am not a religious person which surprises a lot of people. Even now, a lot of non-catholic hymns are being played in catholic churches. It never ceases to amaze me and the photo Norman has put on here is sad to see what it has done...
