All these beautiful new churches around the world but in the UK we are not only not building any new churches but demolishing them left, right and centre.

@Eddy Rhead. It's supply and demand, why on earth would anyone build a new church here when religion is diminishing to the rise of Atheism?

These churches were selected by Emporis. Not knowing who they were I thought I'd have a look and they are....The #1 provider of building data and construction projects worldwide! Says it all.
