Not to be left out of the fun, it seems that Havering might get a Superchurch to complement Newham’s possible Supermosque.

Kingsway International Christian Centre, an evangelical church has applied to Havering council for permission to build a £50million 8,000-seater church on a 10-acre site that is part of the disused Beam Reach Business Park in Rainham.

The plans include a gigantic auditorium with cinema-size screens showing the pastor on a large stage, office buildings, a giant 1,200-space parking lot and a multi-purpose building housing a children’s church, restaurant, crèche and gym. A fleet of at least 30 minibuses would pick up worshipers from surrounding stations to take them to services.
