[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7069154, member: 2119"] As a way forward I think the C of E needs to divorce itself from the legacy of historic buildings it is left with and the responsibility for the upkeep of these buildings needs to come under an umbrella of a sort of national trust publicly funded body. Dare I say it could even be funded by ex Basic Payment money. At the end of the day there is a massive budgetary shortfall for the upkeep of these buildings and they are of national value architecturally and historically so their upkeep should be funded from general taxation. God and Christians don’t need these buildings , if truth be told. Their presence itself runs counter to Christian teachings. We should not be placing such importance on earthly material things but laying up treasure in heaven where moth nor rust doth corrupt. [/QUOTE]
