Use of Church Buildings for Worship by Non C of E Groups
This is a legal document recently developed by the Church of England to set procedures by which other faith communities, under very rare circumstances as this is a sensitive issue, might be able to worship in Church Buildings. Church buildings are generally reserved for Christian worship, but if a Bishop and a local community are willing to advocate strongly for another faith community in the area then they may be allowed to use the Church building.
