A Country Church
This tiny Victorian Gothic church was built in Malton, a small town outside the city, in 1895 and served the parish of the Holy Trinity Anglican Church until it was bought by the St Matthais congregation and moved into Toronto in 1922. It served that parish until they moved to the church I showed you last week in the mid 1950s. The building has heritage protection as a fine example of a frame country church and at one time had vinyl siding which has been removed and the original style of framing has been installed. It now functions as a meeting place for a Sukyo Mahikari Centre which is a new Japanese religion.

Looking at this building I would never have guessed it's now used by people practicing a new Japanese religion!
what a lovely small church
A fine structure no doubt.
Love this small church. The sky does no damage to your image.
Small and lovely, and still a church of sorts...
What a lovely tiny church.
Small but perfect!
How inviting this church building is to me!
It's a small but beautifull church. Well restored.

Beautiful little church with a fascinating history. Glad it is still loved and used. A happy Sunday to you.
It looks like it should be sitting on the prairie instead of in the city.
Small and lovely.Thank you for sharing!
I'd never have described this little gem as gothic! A new Japanese religion?? This looks like little house on the prairie...
A nice old fashioned church.
This church is very charming.
What a cutie! Tom The Backroads Traveller
So cute and quaint!
Looks a very small church that and very cute
The heritage protection will make sure it will be preserved for a long time to come. Well worth the effort.
Oh, this is a lovely little church !
Ditto what Ciel said Pat, that's quite a turnaround for this sweet little church. So glad it's protected it looks like it wouldn't have taken much to pull it down.
It is a handsome little country church. The builders never expected it would be serving a Japanese congregation.
Sencilla y bonita Pat;)
