In trying to find a places in which to leave my cards for our task this week, I decided to head into town. I went the back way from my house which leads me through the residential streets, past the houses that are all mainly inhabited by students. While my intention was to go all the way to town i got distracted by the surrounding area near where i live. The church in the picture is something ive seen before but never really looked at. Ive wondered why its abandoned? How long has it been like that? What will happen to it? I put the card on it because i felt that it said something more about the state of faith nowadays. If society can let a place of worship fall into decay, then whats happened to the people that used it as a place of solace, a place to rise to higher ground, have they fallen into decay too? Have they lost their sense of purpose as well as their place in faith?
I really liked this post, i found it challenging and insightful, but a few answers for this building, i think it used to belong to another church in the area and was a youth group center, where they would hold Sunday schools and other events but they couldn’t afford to keep it open so it had to close. So it could also represent how faith and church for children/ youth has become forgotten and shut out yet it still exists as they now graffiti on the outside of it unaware of what used to be learnt inside of it ?
