I’ve seen some crappy places of worship around Perth in my time, but let’s kick it off with The Holy Trinity in Burnett Street Embleton. The horrorshow design, the mouldy white concrete bricks, the fibro cladding and the “men’s urinal style” glass bricks at the entrance add up to one hideous temple of worship. Got an uglier Church, Mosque or temple to share? Let’s see it. Does Jesus really abide here? I think not.

I recommend the Church in Bullsbrook near the corner of Grt Northern Hwy and Chittering Road. It has a blessed virgin grotto, a scrap metal heap nearby and about twenty pallets of 80’s brown brick out front to greet the sunday congregation.
If you are looking for some redemption or something to finish off that patio….

A place of worship is not about the building it is the people…try looking inside and you would be hard stretched to find a nicer congregation. They make the most of what they have. It’s not about show, it’s about community. I’m sure there are much grander churches where you get ‘lost in the crowd”. At Holy Trinity everyone is welcome and knows your name.

Would you rather see a beautiful church where 60% of the money they raised has gone back into making the church look flashy, or an average looking church where 60% of the money raised has gone to charities such as St Vinnies, overseas missions etc.???

So why build churches at all? If the building doesn’t matter you could hold services anywhere.

is 100% too difficult? For the catholic church the tax exempt status should be revoked.
Not even a real religion like Scientology or MasterChef

regarding the research: I believe the science is in and God doesn’t exist.
They’ve looked everywhere.
including Embleton
he’s certainly not there, which is why Embleton is often called ‘godforsaken’
