London Church Forced Off Its Property
LONDON – If you live in London, and you want to build the largest Mosque in Western Europe, that’s great. But if you want to build the largest church, forget about it. London’s Kingsway International Christian Church, the largest church in Europe, no longer has a permanent home. Nor is there much prospect of it finding one in London. This congregation of as many as 10000 was forced off its property to make room for the 2012 London Olympics. And now it must hold six Sunday services jammed into a 1000-seat former theatre in East London. “I’m probably one of the few pastors around the world who has to preach five times every Sunday,” Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo. When Kingsway had its old building taken from it for the London Games, it not only was forbidden to re-build nearby, where most of its church members live. But the London Development agency offered this predominantly black church land on the far outskirts of London, in a white suburb, where local officials didn’t want a large black church and turned down Kingsway’s planning request. “We were left high and dry, to face the wrath of the community,” Ashimolowo said. “When you have a church of our magnitude with 90 percent ethnic minorities from about 46 nations, the first thing that comes to the mind of the neighborhood is, ‘Oh my God, this large church is coming to our neighborhood.’” So for now, Kingsway has nowhere to move. Feeling more than just abandoned by the city, Pastor Ashimolowo contends government officials …
The largest church in london is gone, wahoo! london takes a step forward.
Plans are made to build the largest Mosque in Western Europe in london. London takes a step back. Both these religions create problems just say NO to them both.
Hmm a huge mosque built by extremists located next to the site of the olympic games. Munich anyone?

@shahinY2K:
You are just as stupid as the rest of your muslim scum they way you twitter like a caged bird trying to escape the misery and degradation of your slimy odious isslam.
You people who follow the idiot bastard mahammed have nothing to offer the world except bombs, terrorism, sexism, amputations, homophobia, stonings, violence and war.
Just go and wash your dirty muslim asshole and get ready to pray to your monkey head god allah.
Islam is a great big F-ALLAH-CY!
You wish . . . .
Probably you will be the leader of that new world religion. Fuckin Cunt
@FreeSecularIran2009:
All god based religions are fantasist escapism, and Africa has enough problems – it does not need invented religious garbage like islam and christianity.
Vodou is natural and is not (as people think), black ‘magic’.
The triabal chiefs I know are the glue that usually keeps people together and act as wise mediators.
However, the west always gets only the bad news about Africa. I live here (though I’m European), and I know exactly what I’m talking about.
NO FORCED RELIGION!
actually Christianity is good for Africa Vodoo and tribal beliefs of witch craft is whats holding it back just like Islam.
There is no doubt that Christianity and islam have really F**ked Africa up.
These 2 religions are an abomination on the world but it is in Africa where they both will eventually die.
When Africa rises again and shows its true spirituality, culture and power, the whole continent will flourish and will eventually give birth to a new democracy that will spread across the whole world.
I can’t wait for that day to come.
Typical Britain. They have been after that church for some time.
Not all Muslims are terrorist. But Islam a religion of terrorosim.
Islam is not of God, it is of SATAN and his false prophet LIAR Muhammad.
Islam will FALL, Mark my word.
Nazism fell, communism fell , ISLAM WILL FALL but its FALL will be the most brutal.
lol
Damn thats a lot of Africans.
i dont think its racial discrimination. Islam doesn’t discriminate it just wants death, persecution and oppression to every non muslim black or white
Well I apologise if it came off in a harsh manner. I’ve heard so many theories about “schizophrenia” but that is because many people fail to truly understand God.
“Faith comes by hearing and by hearing the Word of God”
I’ve tried to the best of my ability to provide you with what I’ve learnt but [it's no excuse] but I know I am young in faith I’m still constantly learning; and even you have challenged me to go into the Word more.
Thank you.
Also i called your argument childish, perhaps it would be a better eye opening experience if rather than just throwing names around you gave justification as well.
Sorry if it came across hostile my intention was to merely mirror the way you were talking to me.
The part about schizophrenia was not intended to be an insult but simply the conclusion that a majority of people use to explan religious behavior.
Also i would not be commenting on this topic had i not been educated in the matter. i have now read the new testament twice and the old once, this does not include the numerous versus read singly. it annoys me that alot of Christians have not read it.
Read the Bible and understand the Trinity.
Thank you I’m not a child. But continue with your sly “insults” I know who I am in Christ and whatever you say actually does not affect my life.
I do not need to use insults to belittle you; so I will refrain from doing so.
Have a nice day.
If god is not a scape goat then do not use him as one, kinda funny how you go on to use another part of the trinity as a scape goat directly after you dispute using god as one.
the only god you serve is the schizophrenia you have chosen to embrace.
Also your argument of “You may think “religion” is narrow minded if that is the case then you yourself are VERY narrow minded” equates to the childish argument of I know you are i said you are but what am i.
Thank you and enjoy your 6th birthday
God is not a scape goat.
Believe what you will. It is left to the Holy Spirit to do the rest. I do not need to get caught up in religious debates. Because I know the God I serve.
You may think “religion” is narrow minded if that is the case then you yourself are VERY narrow minded. To even make a mockery of those who choose to live their life according to the Word of God.
That is all I have to say on this matter. Decide the rest for yourself.
God Bless you.
First of all do not use respect as a crutch especially when it is obvious that you have no understanding of its definition, your misuse of the term only serves to belittle and pervert it.
I will show no respect for something that is so narrow minded and detrimental to the progress of unity within our species, have you never heard of the saying “respect is earned”.
So your a non religious individual that adheres to the dogma of a religion? can we say oximoron?
You do realise that you dont need to of written the bible to be accountable for your actions resulting from your interpretation of the literiture? What i mean is it is your own innitiative that leads to your oppinions so please dont use “god” as a scape goat for your own biggetry.
Also let me thank you for the insatiable laughter resulting from your innabillity to realize that you summed up religion whilst describing the search for satisfaction leading to destruction that you believe non religious people are responsible for.
… that right. I choose to follow what the Bible says and according to the Bible what you do is wrong.
Do not condemn me for believing in my Creator if you choose not to. But lemme just say that I have lived in the World. and I have seen what all these things lead to DESTRUCTION. People are constantly searching for some sort of “SATISFACTION” which they STRUGGLE to find. WHY?? Cos they aren’t seeking God. (MY OPINION!)
I respect your opinion; so therefore respect my own.
