質問 教会にはどの程度の適格性があるのでしょうか。今朝、友人の推薦が拒否されてしまったことで、質問させてもらいます。こちらがその写真です。 ご覧のとおり、建築中ですが、私有地内でもなく学校敷地内といったことでもありません。これは地域の人々が礼拝に集まる場所です。会衆名と教会名とが記載された看板も写真の左上にあります。ナイアンティック社は教会は「崇高な精神への賛同」であるため適格であると言及していますが、私たちの国では数多くの協会施設がもとは私有地となっており、本来の所有者がそれを会衆に売却しています。それがこういった協会が私有地に囲まれている理由となっていますが、この推薦は何が悪いのでしょうか。どの基準に合致していないのでしょうか。今後の推薦を改善させるため、見解をお教えいただけると助かります。

既に数名の方々から言及されていますが、改めてご説明する機会を得られて嬉しく思います。この推薦が拒否された理由は、そうですね、現状のようには見えないから拒否されたのかもしれませんね。あなた自身が言及したように教会そのものが建築中のため施設の完成後には審査結果が大きく異なるかもしれません。この写真はひとつの部屋だけでしかなく、明らかに何もないからです。

工事を終えるまでは、他の方々が提案したように教会の看板を提出することがより良い推薦と扱われるかもしれませんね。

ただし、あくまでこの施設が歩行者によるアクセスを妨げるものでも危険性がないことも前提としたうえでのことです。

What makes a church eligible?
Hi there.
I would like to know to what extent a church is eligible, apart from any PRP, school/K-12 related issues. I ask this, because this morning a friend's nomination was rejected. Here is the photo of it.
As you all can see, it is still under construction, and is not part of any private residence nor hosts any school or the like. It shows the place where the people of the community gather to worship. The photo also shows a sign with the name of the of congregation and church written on it on the upper left side. NIA has stated that churches are eligible since they're "A nod to the spiritual". In our country, many church buildings are former private residences. Their former owners sell them to the congregations. That's why these churches sit among private residences. What could wrong with this nomination? What criteria might it not meet? Any light on this would be appreciated as it will improve future nominations.
Thank you in advance.

Hi folks,

This has been said by a few people already but happy to chime in here as well to reinforce: it's likely that this was rejected because it doesn't look like...anything at present. I understand from your post that the church itself is still under construction so the outcome might be very different once the structure has been finished, but as it is (and with the current photo) it is not clearly anything beyond just a room.

Until the construction has finished, I do recommend what others have suggested, submitting the church sign in the meantime, could be a better nomination.

I say this with the understanding that the construction isn't obstructing pedestrian access nor is it unsafe.
