Jesus attended the Jewish temple as a child, but nowhere in the Bible does he later preach Christianity in a church building.

His church was wherever people met to praise the Lord.

I'd much rather our arcitectural heritage be saved by conversion than demolished, which happened to both Mount Pleasant and Foxhill Bank churches in Oswaldtwistle.
