    I’m irritated enough that churches in my area are provided free spaces to worship. It’s a common practice in Northern VA for churches to hold worship services in schools on the weekends and, in the case of my wife’s former school, tear down LGBTQ+ club signs. Here comes more possible (probable) encroachment.

      For free? I’m aware of church organisations hiring out school halls here in Australia, but they’re hiring them, for the same rate that a sports club or other hobby group would.

        That was a bit knee-jerk of me, likely due to my irritation with the destruction of club flyers. It does appear they pay non-commercial rental fees.
