Which is the World's Largest Church?
"Largest" is at best a vague term, which is often not qualified by claimants. Accepted measures of largeness could include area, volume, length, width, height, and capacity (although the latter is far more subjective). It is important to note therefore that churches may claim to be "the largest" based on only one of these measurements; and thus that there may be several churches have equal claim to be the "nth largest church". Since there is no official body governing these claims, there is no generally accepted criteria for being "the largest church".
- Basilica of Our Lady of Peace in Yamoussoukro, Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast)
- Tabernacle, the headquarters of the Living Faith Church Worldwide (aka Winners' Chapel) in Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria and
- Yoido Full Gospel Church, Yeouido Island, Seoul, South Korea
St. Peter's Basilica is World famous and every one knows about it so I will not cover it here but will cover above three churches one by one in my subsequent posts (not necessarily consecutively). I also seek readers comments/opinion regarding this.
