Sorry if I've missed it. Was a tiring day...
Did you click to expand "More church info"? It's the last sentence under "The Building".
I am so sorry. I do not think I've ever clicked on it. I somehow, no idea how, missed it.
Thank you.
As they’re using a hired room in a hotel, I suspect they’re not allowed to put up anything permanent
I expect that's the case - but portable crosses are available, surely?
I have been reviewing all reports that were ported over from the old site. The porting process was not without issues -- (1) some characters (for example: accented vowels, em dashes, quotation marks and apostrophes in some instances, pound and euro symbols) were not ported over; (2) certain formatting errors occurred; (3) in some instances, entire sections of reports did not get ported over; (4) in some instances, the photo that accompanied the original report could not be successfully cropped to the dimensions required by the new software; (5) some service dates/times were wrong compared to what the original report showed; (6) some very old reports were, erm, not edited to the same standard we insist on today. I have been correcting these and other problems as I encounter them. If the tile that identifies the report on the MW home page includes a short blurb describing the report, then the report has been reviewed by me. If the blurb is not present, then I have not yet reviewed the report.
As I was reviewing the Proclaimers report, it just struck me that the presence of a projection screen was an odd indicator that a church service would be taking place, when there are so many other indicators of Christianity that could have been noticed instead.
Mind you, in one of my own reports, I found it strange that the only object of any kind visible on-stage before the service began was a drum set.
Your post just goes to remind us of how much work is involved in editing MW Reports for our edification, so thank you again for that.
BTW, I know of one church in this Diocese where the statue of Our Blessed Lady has been moved in order to accommodate drums....
As has been noted already, portable crosses are readily available. Very appropriate in rgis gathering would be a procession with cross noting that you are bringing worship into the secular space.
