It can be done

A recent post on Facebook concerning St Lawrence, York.

This is what can be done if you simply ignore all those older people whose response to everything is to say that it can't be done, it won't work, no one will come. This church was scheduled for closure. It was to become some form of multi-faith community centre. The old guard pronounced that there was no alternative. A group of young people came along and said, "No". They said that they were going to turn it back into a thriving parish church with top rate music and a new organ. The old guard responded with their usual defeatest negativity. "It can't be done". Well they were shown to be wrong. It was done. The money needed to restore the church and get a new organ was found. The church has a growing young congregation; first rate music, no "worship songs and choruses". Only the very old members liked them anyway. Look at what was done here. This is the answer to all those who insist "It can't be done". It can be done. They did it, you can do it too.
