Being currently involved in shutting a church in Lincolnshire, I can say the process is still ongoing after about seven years. And I mean seven years from getting the "this church will close" stamp.
I go to the deanery synod meetings and it's the same each time - how do we attract more people / membership declining. Well, I'll say no church membership of Christian denominations are zooming up in Lincolnshire. But it's not in the CofE.
Tesla - what will happen to the church when it is closed? I am not a church goer - so, my apologies. But our good friend is and she is the Church Warden. And I recognise all the comments in this thread. I look out of my bedroom office over the Church some 200 metres away. Norman with Saxon parts in the base of the spire. I just wonder what would happen to these buildings if abandoned by the CofE as no longer required.
