Few years ago I got lost wandering Bruges. Out of the tourist area I stumbled upon an old church and couldn't resist. There was art exhibited, a large screen for motion pictures/slides. A shallow pool in the pew-less main was ringed by a raised sitting area. The maintenance person explained that the parish was dying and the "remnant" decided in consultation with their priest to "recreate" itself as "sacred space". Imagine, a "church" being recreated as "sacred space"? Irony of ironies.
I love this article. 
In a sense, the actual church is standing in the way of the potential for an evolving church. If there is one lesson we need to learn from Jesus: He was not afraid.
