Religion

town imageIt appears to me that, for many people in Rotherham, as in other places, religion in the 21st Century has been replaced by celebrity worship and conspicuous consumption. Now I'm not a philosopher: the mere mention of the work philosophy is enough to send me to sleep faster than counting sheep. But there must be something better than OK and Hello magazines and Retail World and Meadowhall.

Although most congregations have fallen, churches have amalgamated and small dissenting chapels have closed, the town of Rotherham still has a strong religious life. If you are a Christian you have plenty of choice from the established church to more modern worship. The most recent development has been the foundation of the town's mosques. I think that there are four in Rotherham itself, some of them in redundant churches. Other religions do no seem to be much represented in the town.

Visit onsite at Pictures Places of Worship and Places of Worship 2. If you can't find what you are looking for there is a superb collection of photographs of Rotherham churches at Genuki Rotherham and scroll down the page a bit.
