Gospel Hall is a term used by Christians to refer to their building for its purpose of delivering the Gospel. The word Gospel Hall is not limited to any one denomination or sect in Christianity. In U.S. and Canada some Presbyterian Churches are known to label a facility on their property "Gospel Hall". In Ireland, 20th Century America, and other places and times, some conservative Pentecostal Churches call their building "Gospel Hall". Baptists have been known to use the word Gospel Hall for the building they meet in. In England and Wales, many buildings registered for worship by the Plymouth Brethren and other Brethren groups are called Gospel Halls.
Famous quotes containing the words gospel and/or halls:
“He has the earnestness of a prophet. In an age of pedantry and dilettantism, he has no grain of these in his composition. There is nowhere else, surely, in recent readable English, or other books, such direct and effectual teaching, reproving, encouraging, stimulating, earnestly, vehemently, almost like Mahomet, like Luther.... His writings are a gospel to the young of this generation; they will hear his manly, brotherly speech with responsive joy, and press forward to older or newer gospels.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Many of our houses, both public and private, with their almost innumerable apartments, their huge halls and their cellars for the storage of wines and other munitions of peace, appear to me extravagantly large for their inhabitants. They are so vast and magnificent that the latter seem to be only vermin which infest them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
