Hello all We've had a booking request from Love World Church; I've looked them up and am not sure whether or not to accept it - has anyone any experience of them, either from a booking or other contact? Alistair Gault, Warden Lancaster Quaker Meeting House

I just googled them. Wikipedia says they have a dodgy tax record. There’s likely to be other stuff re attitudes to salvation (or not!), inclusion, LGBTQ etc. (founded in Nigeria) if your meeting minds about that sort of thing with hirers? Also, they seem to be a fast growing church; sometimes these groups later want to increase their time / days they use your MH, or rely on members to ‘seed’ other groups elsewhere. Also be wary of their advertising - the way they word the use of your MH. Your meeting might think it a good outreach opportunity to hire to a group like this; my feeling (from experience) is to be wary and do your homework.

Alastair I have recently accepted a booking at Preston MH from Love World Church, an evangelical church founded in Nigeria. They have a base at a community centre about half a mile from the MH and I've not heard of any problems there. I've no doubt that many Quakers would find some of their preachings rather strange, but we let the MH to all sorts of people from all sorts of faiths and none.
