St. Benet Fink Church

I noticed this had the lights on while I was going back to Turnpike Lane station to get the tube, so decided to have a look.  

The lights were in fact on because there was a service, with a small number of people scattered around the church.

It is an interesting place, although I don't think it is very old.    There are no hymn books, and everything is displayed on a large screen, including things like the prayers.    They have a very strict baptism policy - parents have to attend the church every week for six months and attend the preparation classes before their babies are baptised, and it is made quite clear that if they aren;t prepared to do it, then they should go somewhere else.

I only stayed a few minutes to glance around - they seem to have quite a lot of concerts there, but it's quite a way to go.
