I'm still in shock there is a buddhist temple in Milton Keynes. My understanding is it's the only…read moreNipponzan Myohoji Buddhist Temple in Great Britain. Milton Keynes seems such a random place for a monastery but it seems to serve them well. My homeboy was telling me he went on a couple of field trips growing up and I find that absolutely amazing in helping to expand kids' minds. Outside the temple was some interesting art work. Items all in gray that I'm sure had some great significance that just wasn't hitting me, but all the same was cool to look at. Even better than that though was the beautiful Japanese garden. Don't tell anyone but when I was in 4-6th grade I was in the uber cool Japanese Garden Club at my grade school. We built from the ground up and got funding to build a Japanese Garden and it was friggin awesome! That reminds me, I want to go check it out. Anyways, I fancy myself to know a thing or two in Japanese gardens and I found this one to be superb, although I didn't see a rock garden aspect. Don't miss the beautiful Peace Pagoda nearby. This temple is open every day. Prayer times are at 05:00 am and 17:00 (5pm), every day.

Watford Community church, Wellspring centre opened last year and has a reception, cafe with…read morecomputers and outdoor seating ,an auditorium and several other rooms. I liked the scripture on which was written on the staircase in the reception very modern. Its a beautiful building and you still smell the newness of the place. The service was okay, it was pretty formal, not as lively and spontaneous as I would of liked, even if everyone around me was formal I still have a great time with God no matter the atmosphere. This church has not discovered God on a supernatural level, yet, and I cant wait when they get a revelation on who they are in Christ and the finished works of the cross, because when they do they will fly and really impact Watford. The pastor seemed very genuine. I also heard the church was very generous, you can tell by just looking at the building, plus they are looking to build an extension. Their is a sense of real community, family spirit here which I love. Me and my friends were blessed by the Easter feast that we had after the service while enjoying the sun, in their garden while eating, very lovely. They also do various activities for all the age groups as well. They have a 9:00am service and a 11:30am service. For me personally and where I'm at with God, I need something more deeper than what WCC is giving me.

St Alban's is one of England's oldest towns. There has been a settlement here since the 1st Century…read moreBC, and in AD 43 the Romans chose the site for their city of Verulamium, which became the Capital of the Roman province of Brittania. The city owes its modern name to a Roman soldier, Alban. He became the first Christian to be martyred on English soil, around 303 AD, for hiding and aiding the escape of a Christian priest named Amphibalus. A shrine is recorded here in early times, and St Germanus visited the site in 429 AD. An abbey was established in his honour by King Offa in 739 AD, and in 1154 its abbot became Archabbot of England, making it the premier abbey in the land. After the Reformation, the church became the Parish church of St Alban's, and was elevated to cathedral status in 1877. Little remains of Offa's abbey, which was largely made of wood. The Normans began to rebuild it in 1077, and given the lack of building stone in the area, instead used Roman bricks recycled from the earlier town: the church therefore contains substantial amounts of fabric, if not architecture, dating from the 3rd and 4th Centuries. The south transept also contains stone columns from the earlier Saxon church. The early Norman work is unusual in that the Roman bricks were too hard to carve, and the walls were therefore plastered and painted with geometrical designs. Much of this decoration survives, together with delicate frescoes dated from around 1220. The Nave is unusual in being over 300ft (100m) long, and but also shows a distinct change of style from the romanesque style of the Normans to the later gothic work: most of this is in a beautiful Decorated Gothic style, especially that in the Lady Chapel. The church was essentially finished in its present form in 1323. As well as the frescoes, there is much of interest elsewhere in the church. Throughout the church are examples of impressive carving from the decorated gothic period, as well as fragments of mediaeval stained glass. The altar screen and painted ceiling in the sanctuary are both impressive works from the 15th century, and the floor contains a beautiful pavement of Victorian glazed encaustic tiles by Minton & Company. Behind the Sanctuary lies St Alban's chapel. At its heart lies the 13th century marble shrine to St Alban, rebuilt from the original fragments after it was destroyed in the Reformation. It continues to be a major site of pilgrimage. To the north is a carved oak Watching Loft dating from 1400, and to the south the impressive Perpendicular monument of Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester and brother of Henry V, completed in 1447. Beyond the shrine is the beautiful Lady Chapel, completed around 1315. The church has an excellent modern refectory, bookshop and a small gift shop. There are regular guided tours and wheel-chair access is available - see website.
