LONDON, England (Reuters) — A British designer has made what he says is the world’s first inflatable church — a gray plastic building with a blow-up organ, pulpit, altar, Gothic arches and fake stained glass windows.
Michael Gill says the church, which stands 47 feet high to the tip of its steeple, could revolutionize the Anglican Church, suffering from dwindling attendance for years.
Vicars could carry it around with them on the back of a truck and set it up on patches of grass or in village squares for impromptu services, he said.
“This could change the whole perception of what the Church of England stands for,” Gill told Reuters. “It’s revolutionary. It’s moving with the 21st century.”
