Berle church (Berle kyrkje) is a local church community center (arbeidskyrkje) in the village of Berle in the municipality of Bremanger, Sogn og Fjordane county, Norway. The church is a part of the Bremanger prestegjeld in the Nordfjord deanery of the Diocese of Bjørgvin.
The church, which can seat 210 persons, was consecrated on 3 July 1977 by the bishop Thor With. The architect Alf Apelseth from Ørsta made the designs. In 1977, Berle became a chapel district in the Rugsund sokn (sub-parish) of the Davik parish. In 1981, Berle was transferred to the Bremanger sub-parish of the Bremanger parish. On 1 October 1999, the sub-parish of Berle was established. At that time, Berle chapel became Berle church, the main church for the Berle sokn of the parish of Bremanger.
Famous quotes containing the word church:
“This is what the Church is said to want, not party men, but sensible, temperate, sober, well-judging persons, to guide it through the channel of no-meaning, between the Scylla and Charybdis of Aye and no.”
—Cardinal John Henry Newman (18011890)
