However, from the sound of things I'm afraid I'm much more likely to make an effort to get to Lara's friend's church! Thanks for the pointer Jon, if I find myself there on a Sunday I’ll pay a visit.

It is rumoured that Kirkintilloch Baptist (coudl also be a good contendor but perhaps too far outside Glasgow) anyway they sold their pews when rebuilding their church and the money they made paid for all the new chairs! Perhaps if the price was right it could even pay for projectors etc in 'not-yet-high-tec' churches. good luck with 2nd round JON re the pew removal.

If you’re prepared to move to Australia, there is a home church that my friend runs called “Beer n Bibles”.

They meet fortnightly… {:->

You might possibly be alienating yourself from 99% of Glasgow churches. Unless you plan on making special guest appearances. I've been thinking long and hard about how churches might work to fulfill my spiritual needs, and have come to the conclusion that if they replaced the sermon with some thumping techno, switched 11am with 11pm, and perhaps put alcohol on sale (or free), I might be persuaded to go. Do you know any churches that might cater to these needs?
