opposite of decadent

I was researching churches that have been abandoned and left to rot and came across an article about churches perishing in Detroit and across North America in general. People simply can't afford to keep them running and so they eventually get closed down or merged with another church but people forget about the service that these churches provide to their struggling communities.

Mark Blinch looked into what is happening with these places of worship and documented it through photography

Martyrs of Uganda Catholic Church- closed in 2006 and has been left since then.
