Statement
I am not religious.
What do I believe? What examples do I follow?
Most of these images are of parts of Medieval churches?
They are being worn away by the passage of time.
The East end of Leuchars church goes back to Norman times and it is deteriorating rapidly.
Churches all over the country are being closed and yet we are called a Christian country.
In the USA they are building enormous new churches.
In Britain new mosques and synagogues are built.
