British Churchlady: Church Toilets Are 'Undignified'

[Jerome]

Outcry As Ancient Edifice Gets Indoor Plumbing

one vicar's efforts...installing a convenient loo has been opposed by his parishioners....Currently those in need must travel 30 metres to a nearby building

Plans...met with ire from opponents who said that toilets in churches were a "current fad"....opponent Pauline Jones said: "Some people believe that it is the thing to do without giving it any serious thought....why have anything as undignified as a lavatory in a church?”

Among a list of objections were "Noise disturbance"..."smells"...as well as the concern that "toilets attract children"

Well...I am pretty sure Jesus pooped too.

Big stink at another church, except here parishioners do want facilities installed inside the church building:

Media banned from secret ballot on church extension

"journalists – except those who live in the parish – have been banned from covering the parish assembly, which will involve a secret ballot....The specially convened assembly has been called in an attempt to resolve a long-running dispute"

"the project [to tack on an annex] has backing from the parish and the Church of England in Jersey [but] is opposed by a group of parishioners [who] have alternative plans to provide the facilities inside the church rather than in a new extension"

"we fully support of the provision of toilet facilities and a servery...but we believe this can be provided inside the church."
