Oooh blimey, I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole! Seriosuly, it wouldn't sit well with me. There are two churches in Derby which have been converted, one into a Chinese restaurant (it used to be a shopping centre too) and one into a bar, where they once held a fetish night. Now, I've no problem with any of those businesses, especially the fetish club ^_^ - but did they have to put them into churches? I get the distinct feeling the fetish club was held there on purpose, to feel slightly sacreligious and shocking, and it kinda worked with me. But as my OH points out, at least with conversion the buildings get maintained, whereas without they'd be left to crumble. People think it's weird, as I don't live out my Catholic upbringing at all and identify mostly with neo Pagan beliefs if anything - but Tempest, I guess from your comments on the other thread I guess you can understand it. Even if you don't believe it, even if you disregard it, it still leaves something behind ...

Saying all that though, I did see a shoot that Anna Fur Laxis did in/outside a church on the PIN UP myspace. It was quite interesting and is worth a look - even if it did make me feel odd to look at ...
