I am not a Goth, nor do I play one in cyberspace. But after the brutal murder of Sophie Lancaster in November 2007, a Goth woman (for which murder the perpetrators recently got life in prison) it seems that a worship space for Goth people is a good idea whose time has come. The most interesting part of this is that the worship space, St. Hilda’s, is in Second Life. What an imaginative way to get people who often feel neglected and shunned into a worship space, cyber though it be! I am really pleased and hope that St. Hilda’s thrives.
There’s at least one pagan/neo-pagan worship center in D.C. And the Unitarian church on Wisconsin Ave. NW (near the old Soviet embassy — the one which the USSR never got to use) rents out their space to the goth/pagan community as well.
