Counting Sheep in the Big Smoke: The Great London LDS Stake Hunt
So, you're curious about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) in London, eh? Wondering how many congregations, wards, choirs with killer hymn skills, or most importantly, stakes there are in the bustling British capital? Well, buckle up, because we're about to dive into the fascinating world of LDS Church geography (and maybe dodge a bobby or two on the way).
Stakes? More Like Steak and Kidney Pie, Am I Right?
Hold your horses (or should we say, unicorns?) there, mate. While London might be a melting pot of cultures and religions, it turns out there actually aren't any stakes within the city limits itself. Whaaaat? I know, right? Mind. Blown.
But fear not, fellow faith explorer! The London England Hyde Park Stake serves the greater London area, so you won't be left high and dry (or perhaps more accurately, in a drizzle without an umbrella).
Stake Out the Scene: Where are the LDS Folks Hiding?
Now, you might be wondering why there aren't any stakes smack dab in the middle of London. Well, that's a question only the bigwigs at LDS HQ can truly answer. Maybe they're all too busy dodging double-decker buses, or perhaps they haven't found a spot with enough pigeons to create a suitably reverent atmosphere (just kidding... mostly).
One thing's for sure: the LDS Church is alive and kicking in the UK, with a strong presence throughout the country.
So, while you might not find a stake in the heart of London (sorry, vampires), there's definitely a welcoming LDS community waiting to be discovered.
