In Australia they aren't yet to the point of arguing about buildings, but one could imagine from reading the news reports that they will get there in a few years. If anything succeeds in killing the Anglican Communion, surely it won't be through our church buildings. Oh, buildings are splendid and stained glass is nice and history is impressive, but the church is not the buildings, it is the people who sit, sing, pray, mourn, think, laugh, love, and live in them. But should it be taken away from us, we can always find another building. This doesn't mean that we think people should meekly allow the opposition to take or keep a church building when there is a squabble.
Buildings are good, and it is quite an expensive nuisance to buy or build another one.
But never confuse the loss of a building with the loss of faith or loss of a relationship with Christ. See you next week.
