This is St Mary Aldermary in London. It has a lovely coffee shop open nearly every day. It offers a calm space for anyone passing - you don't have to buy anything. It holds regular worship. It serves its community. This is what a church is, not a museum held in stasis.

Is there a more depressing trend than churches becoming coffee shops?

This is the most ridiculous church organ I have ever seen. It is mounted on ELEPHANTS. Built in the Church of Our Saviour by the brothers Botzen between 1696-98. The brothers had a monopoly on organ building in Denmark, and boy did they go for it.
