You know that I generally prefer original material, but there are so many outside links and pics that deserve our attention, I’m going to make Fridays Worstorama Day, where we can look at some interesting snippets of Perth and even world worsts, with perhaps a little more snarkiness than the usual measured [...]

The Worst Of Perth was six months old this week, roughly coinciding with 200,000 views, 250 posts and 5000 comments! Who would have thought the city and the world would embrace worsts so enthusiastically? Thanks to everyone for their suggestions, submissions and (almost) overwhelmingly positive and amusing comments. Probably time for another The Worst of [...]

Ransacking the TWOP image folders for something Jesus carking compliant for Easter, when I remembered this. Nearly every time I have stopped outside an ugly church it has been a Uniting Church. A Uniting Church utilising glass bricks no less should have been a disaster, but this one in Busselton not too bad. In case [...]

Just one more day in the Central Kingdom, so I thought I’d put up one more The Worst of Perth on Tour China post. The church hasn’t done too well in China since 20 million died in The Taiping Rebellion (where a Chinese guy thought he was Jesus’ little brother), but KFC is going strong. [...]

I’ve never noticed this church next to Hyde Park until Kat sent in this picture. Kat says…
The attached neglected (but I believe, still used) church of some obscure denomination wouldn’t be nearly as bizarre if not for the location. Right next to lush, leafy Hyde Park. On the southern side. Very strange, it looks like [...]

We’ve seen some bad churches in the last few months, but wow, what a stinker! As we have seen before, The Uniting Church is obviously a little light on for architects amongst its flock, and this church in Carlisle is totally flocked. Teh Jesus lives here? The hell he does. Jesus wouldn’t be seen [...]

Christ The Scientist? For some reason I always had him down as a Creationist. Couldn’t see in to check if there were beakers and bunsen burners. You’d expect the occasional explosion or pink smoke pouring out the windows though. Interesting Building nonetheless. Tom might have some information. Love the gates. It’s at the top of [...]

Let’s be honest, these are shrubs of remembrance. Spiritualist Church Subiaco. Writing “garden” on a crucifix may be a miracle too far.

Tom Thrett recently left some comments on the worst churches, saying he’d seen much worse, particularly St Cecilia’s in Floreat, Yokine Baptist, and Yokine Anglican. I visited them all Tom. The Yokine ones are pretty bad (we’ll see them later), but I didn’t see St Cecilia’s as a travesty of design. I can see why [...]

Hugh sent me this one from Guildford Rd near 7th Avenue. Pray Hard. It’s not strictly a church Hugh. It’s a grotto. Does it light at night?
