In Ireland, 20th Century America, and other places and times, some conservative Pentecostal Churches call their building "Gospel Hall".

Famous quotes containing the words gospel and/or halls:
“A good man was ther of religioun,
And was a poure persoun of a toun,
But riche he was of hooly thoght and werk.
He was also a lerned man, a clerk,
That Cristes gospel trewely wolde preche.
His parisshens devoutly wolde he teche.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“The good grey guardians of art
Patrol the halls on spongy shoes,
Impartially protective, though
Perhaps suspicious of Toulouse.”
—Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
