Taking God to the woodshed

Niall sends along this wonderful story from England, about an Antiochian Orthodox priest who built England’s smallest working church — in his garden shed.  He’s a woodworker, and designed it himself. He built it with the help of volunteers. It’s a work of art. Excerpt:

The regular congregation at the church has now grown to seven, including two pensioners and their walking frames, which means Father Weston now needs to upsize.

The clergyman said: ‘When we do a Saturday liturgy we’ve had 18 people in the church and it really is a bit of a crush.

‘We would like to see our congregation grow, a large part of orthodox services are sung not said and in bigger orthodox churches that is led by a choir and the congregation join in.

‘At St Fursey’s it not an option, everybody is in the choir and everybody is in the congregation.’

I love England.
