Christianity for the Dark Side

The associate Vicar of St Edward King and Martyr Church wants to bring more people to the Church by making services there relevent to a crowd not often catered to

The service includes a specially written liturgy and Goth music, such as Depeche Mode and Sisters of Mercy.

Mr Ramshaw, 34, who is a Goth, said he hoped to make the church meaningful to people from alternative communities.

The Reverend Marcus Ramshaw says

"I thought this could be one way of encouraging people into church that wasn't Bible bashing and would show people that Christianity can provide hope and support."
