Kind words, but no cash, for church reinvention

摘要

Churches, synagogues, mosques and temples should reinvent themselves as semi-secular centres serving their local communities, a government report said this week.rnIt calls on faith groups to adapt their buildings for community use, and on funders to overcome "squeamishness" about giving cash to religious organisations.rnBut conservation architects complained that the government - which is not offering any extra funding for projects - is not giving faith groups enough supportrnto find the money to expand.
