OK, let me declare an interest: I attend this church regularly and have done for many years. But I…read moreknow I'm not alone in saying this is a good church, a welcoming family, a vibrant, worshipping community, and a place where it is easy to belong. There are actually four worship centres in the parish -- at St Peter's itself and on Johnson Fold, in Barrow Bridge and in Smithills -- and there are three services on Sundays at St Peter's (a family-friendly service at 9:30, a quieter service at 11:00 and a longer service at 6:30). If think that's a lot, you'd be right: this is one of the biggest Anglican churches (if not the biggest) in Manchester, and organising everything that happens is a major task! There's a big, smart Parish Centre just down the road from St Peter's -- a very useful resource for the local community -- and as you might expect, there's a lot going on both during the day and in the evenings. In particular there's a good deal of Youth Work -- indeed, the church has just appointed a Youth Minister to oversee what's going on. Worship at the church itself is fairly low with modern songs very much the order of the day at most services; and the theology is unashamedly evangelical. All in all, I'm very happy to be involved here; if you're looking for a busy, family church you could do a lot worse than see whether St Peter's might be what you're looking for.

Background of Gurdwara Guru Nanak Dev Ji The Gurdwara…read morebuilding was originally a church, but was bought and transformed into a Gurdwara in 1969. The Gurdwara was named after Guru Nanak Dev Ji. At the time, the Gurdwara was one of the biggest in the UK. The Sangat (congregation) grew very rapidly as this was one of only 2 Gurdwaras in Bradford. The Hall was often full to capacity between 1975 and 1978; and a lot of good work was undertaken with children many becoming proficient in reading Gurbani (the Sikh scriptures). Punjabi language classes were taught 7 days a week and school numbers exceeded 100 at the weekends. Akhand Paaths (48 hour, non-stop recitation of the Sikh scripture) and Gurpurbs (birthdays of the Gurus) were particularly well attended with many families staying overnight during Akhand Paats. An arson attack in 1986 resulted in the main Divaan (prayer) hall being destroyed. Once the building was repaired, via the donations and hard work of the congregation, the Gurdwara was re-opened to all. http://www.plumberyorkshire.co.uk/pages/plumber_in.php?plumber_in=Bradford

I've never been to a service at Kay Street Baptist Church but I have visited the place recently and…read morefound it to be very friendly and welcoming. The building itself is an interesting one, having undergone major restructuring more than once in its history; the part of the building that was originally used for services now appears to be some sort of Sports Hall! The facilities all round seem to be very good -- the kitchen in particular is worthy of note. Given the warmth of the people there, if I lived in Rawtenstall I expect I would happily be able to make this place a spiritual home.

Here is a SHORT NOTE ON Sikhism AS CONTINUATION OF Christianity. WHY TEN LIGHTS? Nanak wasn't a Moral Teacher, a Brahmin Guru but Satguru of the highest order that Preaches the Gospel to one's mind, Munn, Nafs, etc. https://youtu.be/HquVBRjtXF8 www.gnosticgospel.co.uk/tenlights.htm Satguru is known as the Christ in the Western world and both of them stand for the Royal Priests of God, the Spokesmen of God. Jesus was the first anointed Christ whilst Nanak was the Second anointed Christ. The Bhagats and Saints were also Christs but they were NOT the anointed ones. The First anointed Christ Jesus came when the Rabbis had become grossly inefficient and greedy hypocrites. People suffered at their Mammon orientated malpractices as you see them even today. In the Middle East one Prophet came in the name of Moses or Elijah to make people sons of Man or the Jews of heart by teaching them the Moral Laws that the corrupt priests were floundering e.g. Herod marrying the wife of Philip. And that was Angel John, the Baptist, and an ideal Levi Priest whilst to preach Gospel to the sons of Man Christ Jesus was the First Anointed Christ, the Son of Elohim, Allah, Parbrahm, etc., the very Source of Light. In Sikhism, John, the Baptist is called Israeli Fahrishhtta. Jesus handpicked 11 Labourers and not the once-born disciples whilst the twelfth clever Judas Iscariot begged Jesus to be included among the 12. The root of the word Disciple is discipline and Rabbis disciplined the once-born natural men through teaching moral laws. Thus, the moral teachers, Matt.13.v52 had Disciples.

It now stands out on Boar Lane in the shopping area of Leeds as a magnificent Georgian building. It is a Church of England church and still holds services of Holy Communion Sunday, Tuesday and Friday although most people probably don't realise this.

It is a great venue for this so its nice to see that it can survive running simultaneously as a place for worship and art.

There's something really atmospheric and a little spooky about a rock/folk band playing in a church. And Amy's powerful, haunting voice only adds to that vibe (as well as plastering you up against the nearest wall with its power). The Evens ascetic, preachy vibe was perfectly suited to this venue: the hard wood pews, the spooky light coming through the stained glass windows, the (I think) Gothic architecture The packed hall, lots of people sitting cross-legged up front, it all gave a fantastic feeling of community very fitting to a church. It all just came together for one of the most intense gigs ever!

The first thing to say is that it's a beautiful building. It's bright, airy and quite modern -- and big too, with seating for around 500 I would say. Both times I've been there I've been struck by what an inspiring place it is to worship. We've always received a very warm welcome when we've been there too. The people who have greeted us have been friendly and hospitable. Granted, that's unsurprising on a day when the church hosting hundreds of church-goers from the local area, but you can't learn to be hospitable overnight! I am sure that if we went to a normal Sunday service we would be welcomed just as warmly. All in all, then, a beautiful and welcoming church: highly recommended.
