Shildon Church

Shildon Church in County Durham has various churches for diverse religious faiths such as Anglican, Baptist and Methodist. It is common for a town to have more than one church and Shildon is no exception.

Regrettably church attendance has been falling for the last 50 years in the United Kingdom, with 15% of the population attending at least once per month, however Atheists and Agnostics are still in a minority, representing 33% of the residents.

We think the explanation for the decline is just that people don't have faith in God any more, with wars raging across the world and the economy in a bad way it is straightforward to appreciate peoples lack of faith. In our estimation the Church needs to be re-branded, if you think of the staple values of Church such as togetherness, family, marriage and community leaving aside God for a second! If you ruminate on all the good things that Churches stand for in our Shildon community then it is truly startling figures are going down. Surely we all want our Shildon to be a good location to inhabit, where inhabitants get along, they assist each other in times of hardship and people offer to each other without asking anything back in return. So what we are asking is for you to go along to your Shildon church and make a request change, you want to help, and you think it's only right and proper that the rest of your neighborhood chip in and help with things. This country is on its knees because hardly a soul wishes to work to a greater is time for change...come on people..let's get as one and make this happen



The scottish Cardinal Keith O'Brien in recent times deserted after admitting sexually inappropriate moves to young men training to be priests, bearing in mind his anti-gay rhetoric in the past, this was seen as "do as I say not as I do"!

On the lighter side of things churches are seen as a very peaceful position to be - a good place to cogitate on the things that are going on in your life at the present time.

A game we used to play as kids was to find the oldest gravestone..i.e. the earliest date, that is a diversion that can keep kids pleased for a while as well as giving them good exercise as they run/walk round the cemetery.
