We have Church Micro’s, now we have Mosque Micros. I was up in Lincoln recently and saw that Tentmantent had put a new cache at the recently built Lincoln Mosque, GC7J0R3.
He attended an event I held while there and we got onto the subject of the Mosque Micro and that I’d like to continue the series, so here we have number 2.
This cache is in a very busy location, so stealth is advised, especially during prayer times.
Redditch Central Mosque is a mosque in the town centre area of Redditch, England, run by the Redditch Mosque Committee, and is one of the largest Muslim centres in Redditch.
The mosque is open to people of all religious affiliations, men and women, and its main prayer halls currently hold between 1,000 to 1,500 people during a Friday service. Many worshippers walk through the mosque's doors during the 5 daily prescribed prayers and during multiple services held on religious festivals such as Eid.
Since the mosque's establishment, it has become a focal point for the Redditch Muslim community, providing education for children and adults, lectures and seminars. Over the years, Muslims have used the mosque for events, meetings, lectures, studies and community and educational purposes. Many of the original founders of the mosque committee still make up the mosque management or are trustees of the mosque but as time has passed, many innovations have been made as to how the mosque is democratically run using Islamic teachings as the basis for equal representation of all members of the community. Thus, regular meetings, annual selection and equal opportunities have meant that the running of Redditch Central Mosque has been as efficient as possible over the decades.
