Description
Inside a former Anglican church in central Montreal, crucifixes, prayer benches and candlesticks have been replaced by books and children's toys -- part of an effort by developers and community groups to breathe new life into abandoned churches. "In general, we do not want to destroy churches if we can preserve them because they are beautiful buildings which mark the urban space well," says Justin Bur, a member of the local historical society Memoire du Mile-End.
