Religious brainwashing at Legacy XS skate park in Benfleet?

The Legacy XS skatepark in Benfleet, Essex, England is funded by a consortium of churches, but if you thought that these churches were happy simply to be doing something good for the community for a change, you'd be very mistaken. They use the opportunity to spread their message to young minds, perhaps without their parents' knowledge. Is it sinister indoctrination at its very darkest, or just a bit of harmless religious branding?

Im sorry but that is absolute rubbish,

iv only ever seen you at legacy once, it seems quite clear that you have jumped to conclusion on how legacy operates..

@ellisgoward I only have to step in dog mess once to know that it stinks. I've been to Legacy a couple of times. The fact that legacy's channel here on youtube describes it as "Skate church" but there is no such sign on the outside of the building makes me wonder if that is mere coincidence. But still, if you can persuade me that my perception is wrong, I'll gladly take down this video. And my perception that the park is primarily run for the convenience of BMXers.

@ellisgoward well then again. ive never been there, seeing as i live in the US...

[ellisgoward]

@matbroomfield NOPE im no christian and i have never been pushed toward religion by legacy. The church runs !!seperatly!! to the weekend public skate/riding sessions, the weekend cells nights and the sunday church night is !!seperate!! to the XS skatepark business and an OPTION for the riders to take part in, it is entirely there choice. and maybe you should talk to more people.. i feel i am repeating my self and am very bored of typing HA bye bye for now

@ellisgoward Are you a christian Ellis? What facts were incorrect? Where on the website does it say that it is a skate church? The church is not a company, it's a religion. I got most of my facts from people who visit and from SOMEONE WHO WORKS THERE.

[ellisgoward]

@iZxBuEnO it does say that -.-

@XSLegacy Also, what do you define as "their wellbeing"? Faith in God? Improved morality? I have been VERY supportive of the great work done by you guys at Canvey outdoor skate park, where there is no religious content, but when you start mixing religion and skating, you totally cross the line, and it starts to become low-level indoctrination.
