Throughout my research I came across some information about how some Churches in England are being converted to Mosques. This is down to the low congregation sizes within particular churches, so much so, other religions are using building of worship, into relating to their own to hold services. I thought this would be a really interesting topic to research more in-depth. I began by finding key words relating to this. Heres are some, along with definitions:
Dictionary definition:
Deconsecrate - To remove the consecration from a church or a similar building.
Consecration - The act or ceremony of consecrating; the state of being consecrated; dedication.
Dedication - A ceremony marking an official completion or opening. - The deliberate or negligent surrender of all rights to property.
Sacrament - A sacred act or ceremony in Christianity. In roman catholic theology, a sacrament is defined as "an outward sign instituted by christ to give grace.
Unction - A religious or ceremonial anointing
