Challenge 950: Suburban worship
My attention has been drawn to curious publicity from the church of Christ Church, Harlesden. Here's the opening page of their website: 
Eagle-eyed ecclesiastical spotters have pointed out that the church shown here is actually in the Philippines. Here's another page, showing the interior of the church: 
Those familiar with London may recognise this as the interior of the Natural History Museum. Christ Church itself sadly lacks the grandeur it celebrates on its website. Do you think there's anyway this modern, suburban edifice can be modified, so as to emulate those buildings to which it aspires? High res is here.

Another of their pictures looks to me as if it might be Westminster Abbey! _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

If you want to learn more about the extremely prosaic nature of the real interior just skim through the photos: Here _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

It's like the prospectus for a local grammar school which made it look like Hogwarts ... however the photo was actually not of the school grounds at all but from when their choir sang at Canterbury Cathedrall ... _________________ I'm not really bad - I just draw that way |

Hey Loyd that's great movement---well done! 
It is with great regret that Christ Church has not received the much-needed donations from the wicked brethren, and therefore we have had to "cut our cloth" accordingly

Thanks Michael, I must say that I like the ostrich... perhaps it needs to be your visiting 'moose'. |

Re: Challenge 950: Suburban worship
ChristChurch's congregation worships immersed in the splendour of their church's vast interior! It is unusual for me to depart completely from the given image. However this is created from an image of the the real Christchurch Harlesden interior and it's congregation.  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Thank you, Gordon!

If you've never seen the 1977 movie "Oh, God", with George Burns and John Denver, then this scenario is likely even more pointless than it actually is...

I would never have thought of it David, but it was on an 'old movie' TV channel a couple of days ago. |
