A church in Aberdeen stands next door to a very small mosque. The congregation of the mosque had increased so much that the overflow where having to pray outside on the pavement in the cold (Aberdeen is very cold).
So the Minister arranged with the Imam to share his church. They mainly pray on Friday he mainly prays on Sunday. And he says they are all praying and that is what religion is about
The arrangement is working really well with the 2 communities now sharing certain celebrations such as mince pies and pakoras on Christmas Eve and the following September joining together to remember the dead of 9/11 with readings from the Bible and the Koran.
Yes - brilliant
