Old churchs finding new uses: e.g. as a mosque

 

The Hyatt Mosque and Centre in London, Ontario, in the east end of the city is located in a century old former church building. Talk about good luck. The new owners promise a full restoration of the exterior of the 1907 church to its original elegance. No alterations are planned.

Inside there is a beautiful sanctuary with lots of gorgeous, heritage woodwork. Everything will be preserved and then the restored space will be used for lectures, seminars and gatherings.

After years of neglect, three cheers for the new Muslim owners. What great neighbours these folk are proving to be.
