Art gallery and information centre

Christianity is shrinking, now some old redundant churches are used for new pursuits.

This is Church Square in Hartlepool, the church now serves as an art gallery and local information centre.

Using churches for other purposes leaves me with mixed feelings but I guess it is better than decay . .

Little did they know when they built those churches, how they would serve the community long after the congregation was gone.

It's a shame Christianity is shrinking. I am not much of a church goer. I love this architecture though !
