announces closing of Mission Chapels calling them instead "chapels of convenience".
Strangely, in justification the Bishop quotes John Donne, the poet who left the Catholic Church in order to gain preferment in the anglican church.
He even offers the chapels for sale to other faith communities!
"Has interest been expressed by other faith communities or business leaders in possibly buying the property?"
