I have been coming to this Spiritualist Church for a few years. I love coming here as it has a warm…read moreand welcoming atmosphere. The people who run the church have made me feel very welcome. I tend to go on my own to the Sunday Service. I don't feel awkward when I'm on my own, as the people that go are very friendly and will have a chat with you. If you are wanting to find a spiritualist church to go to I would highly recommend this one.

Background of Gurdwara Guru Nanak Dev Ji The Gurdwara…read morebuilding was originally a church, but was bought and transformed into a Gurdwara in 1969. The Gurdwara was named after Guru Nanak Dev Ji. At the time, the Gurdwara was one of the biggest in the UK. The Sangat (congregation) grew very rapidly as this was one of only 2 Gurdwaras in Bradford. The Hall was often full to capacity between 1975 and 1978; and a lot of good work was undertaken with children many becoming proficient in reading Gurbani (the Sikh scriptures). Punjabi language classes were taught 7 days a week and school numbers exceeded 100 at the weekends. Akhand Paaths (48 hour, non-stop recitation of the Sikh scripture) and Gurpurbs (birthdays of the Gurus) were particularly well attended with many families staying overnight during Akhand Paats. An arson attack in 1986 resulted in the main Divaan (prayer) hall being destroyed. Once the building was repaired, via the donations and hard work of the congregation, the Gurdwara was re-opened to all. http://www.plumberyorkshire.co.uk/pages/plumber_in.php?plumber_in=Bradford
