It breaks my heart when a church door is shut and locked forever. In England old churches by the numbers are converted for private housing purposes. We need to fill the churches. We need to need God. God has not moved away from us, we have turned our backs to him.
I so agree with you, Elise. This church is located in my favorite little semi-ghost town of Hornitos, California. It's about an hour's drive from us. The church is open twice a year for the celebration of St. Katherine of Sienna's saint day and also on All Soul's Day. It is periodically cared for inside and out throughout the year and is designated a historic site. So - fortunately there is no conversion to private home use in its future.
