Why churches should keep their doors open
Church Times.
NO COUNTY has more medieval churches than Norfolk. Earlier this year, I spent a sabbatical walking between more than 200 of them. The glories of Norfolk’s churches are manifold; chief among those glories is that so many of these churches are open each day.
Keeping churches open is not simply about scratching the itch of church-crawlers. There is a theological and missional imperative for keeping churches — rural and urban — open as much as possible.
