abstract |
This chapter explores the attitude of the Church of England to the sharing of redundant
consecrated church buildings, formerly used for worship, to non-Christian religious
groups. It draws on a case study of St Leonard's Church, Bedford, in the late 1970s.
Highlighting the relevance of the themes of theological considerations, community
relations and understanding of diaspora in the decision making of the Church Commissioners,
it explores the relationship between a local controversy and a wider debate in the
Church. |
