A church which had been meeting in a Chadwell Heath office without planning permission has been allowed to stay.
Kingdom Power Bible Church has used LCCM House in Chadwell Heath Industrial Park, Kemp Road, for the past four years, and have now been granted retrospective planning permission to change the building’s use to a place of worship and community centre after councillors voted unanimously at a development control board meeting on Monday night.I wonder if a white Anglican or Catholic Church would get the same treatment if they squatted in a building fort four years?
Oh, silly me. That wouldn’t happen in the first place, would it?
I'll tell you something I quickly learned when I lived in Sarf London. These "churches" of an African persuasion are nothing of the sort. They're shebeens, pure and simple. The only spirits they worship are whisky and gin.
ReplyDeleteWell, they do occasionally stop the tribal chanting long enough to thrash the bejeebers out of a child 'possessed by demons'.

And yet there's a rash of 'possession' films featuring...Roman Catholics! Go figure...
